The Andhra Pradesh Secretariat is the administrative headquarters of the Government of Andhra Pradesh, housing offices critical to state governance. Following the 2014 bifurcation of Andhra Pradesh into Telangana and Andhra Pradesh, the state established the Interim Government Complex (IGC) at Velagapudi, operational since October 2016, and the planned Amaravati Government Complex (AGC), designed by Foster and Partners under architect Norman Foster. The IGC serves as a temporary administrative center, while the AGC, part of the Greenfield capital city of Amaravati, is intended as a sustainable complex.
