₹6.5 crore spent on renovation of Chandrababu Naidu's Delhi residence

The official residence of Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu in New Delhi has been renovated at a cost of ₹6.5 crore. According to a report by The Indian Express, the bungalow located at 1, Janpath Road, Delhi, was renovated by the central government agency NBCC (India) Limited. The restoration work was completed in a period of just three and a half months.

NBCC stated that Naidu was handed over the 'upgraded' bungalow on October 22. The primary objective of this project was to modernize the property while preserving the architectural design and heritage elements of the nearly 100-year-old structure. The bungalow, dating back to the 1930s, had been showing structural damages over the years, making its restoration inevitable.

NBCC carried out retrofitting work to strengthen the building while keeping the identity of the property's history intact. Speaking about this challenge, the company stated that restoring its strength without erasing the soul of the bungalow was an extremely delicate and difficult task. Through this operation, NBCC has faithfully preserved its architectural and heritage features while strengthening the structure.

Along with strengthening the structure, this renovation has also given the residence a contemporary look. According to NBCC, the upgraded property now includes modern interiors, a sustainable net-zero concept, and landscaped greenery. Through this process, the amenities and interiors of the residence have been upgraded, while the historical aspects of the building have been secured.

K. P. Mahadevaswamy, Chairman and Managing Director of NBCC, said regarding this matter that every heritage building tells a story, and its restoration requires engineering precision and deep respect for history. He further added that reviving this landmark in just three and a half months is a testament to the dedication, quality, and commitment of the NBCC team to complete work on time.

Chandrababu Naidu performed housewarming ceremonies at this residence located at 1, Janpath Road in July 2024, after being elected as the Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh. During visits to Delhi, which include meetings with several Union Ministers, this bungalow is also used for official work.

NBCC (India) Limited is a central public sector enterprise under the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs.
