No project proposal of Andhra Pradesh has been received for inclusion under FMBAP.

(e)  &  (f) As  per  Cabinet  approval  of  FMBAP  Scheme  during  2021-2026,  projects  from  only  those States,  which  have  implemented Flood Plain Zoning (FPZ) either through a legislation or through an appropriate Executive Order, are eligible for inclusion of projects under FMBAP in the State.

Ministry  of  Jal  Shakti  has  continuously  impressed  upon  the  States  the  need  to  adopt  flood  plain zoning approach as a non-structural measure of flood management in the country. In order to enable States to undertake scientific assessment of flood plains and its zoning as a non-structural measure of flood mitigation, a technical guideline on Flood Plain Zoning have been prepared and circulated to the States/UTs including Andhra Pradesh in August, 2025 by Ministry of Jal Shakti.
