Plot layout planning and 3D plot maps in Visakhapatnam (Vizag).

Visakhapatnam is growing along its coast and towards the new international airport at Bhogapuram, with plotted layouts at Anandapuram, Tagarapuvalasa and Bheemili. Buyers ask whether the layout is VMRDA approved, what the LP number and AP RERA number are, and how many square yards the plot has. zeplot turns your layout into a live 3D plot map on the real satellite view, so buyers in other cities can see it from a phone.

★ Approvals

How a plotted layout in Visakhapatnam gets approved.

The usual path from raw land to plots you can sell. The exact steps depend on where the land is.

  1. Check title and records

    Title, EC, the revenue records (adangal and 1-B) and whether the land is in VMRDA or another authority’s area.

  2. Convert the land

    Get agricultural land converted for non-agricultural use for the layout area.

  3. Design the layout

    Roads, open space (about 10%), amenity sites and plot sizes to the AP layout rules.

  4. Get layout approval

    VMRDA gives draft approval; a share of plots is usually mortgaged until roads and drains are done.

  5. Develop and get the final LP

    After the works, the mortgage is released and the final layout permission (LP number) is issued.

  6. Register with AP RERA

    Layouts above 500 sq m or with more than 8 plots must be registered before marketing.

Rules, fees and procedures change from time to time. Check the current requirements with the authority or your planning consultant before you launch a layout. Official sites: AP RERA. Last reviewed by the zeplot team: October 2026.

★ FAQ

Plot layouts in Visakhapatnam, answered.

What is a VMRDA approved layout?

A layout whose plan has been approved by the Visakhapatnam Metropolitan Region Development Authority, which covers the region around the city. Approved layouts get an LP number; buyers should check it against the approved plan.

Why is Bhogapuram popular for plots?

The new international airport is being built there, on the coast north of the city, and the road between the city and the airport passes Anandapuram and Tagarapuvalasa. Developers are launching layouts along this route.

Do layouts in Vizag need AP RERA registration?

Yes, when the layout is larger than 500 sq m or has more than 8 plots. The AP RERA number should be on every brochure and advertisement.

Can NRI or out-of-town buyers see the layout without visiting?

Yes. The zeplot 3D plot map opens from one link on any phone, shows the layout on the real satellite view with the roads and landmarks around it, and shows which plots are still available. Many buyers book a site visit after seeing it.
