Amaravati construction projects hit by labour shortage
TNN / May 09, 2026, 23:48 (IST)
Amaravati's ambitious construction projects are severely hampered by a significant labour shortage, with the current workforce at just 17,000, far below the required 36,010. Migrant workers are leaving due to poor living conditions and delayed wages, causing project pace to halve. Contractors are reluctant to hire local labour, exacerbating the crisis.
