Vastu house plans for Kakinada plots

Building a house in Kakinada: what to know

Map approval
The Kakinada Municipal Corporation (KMC), for plots inside the city — Andhra Pradesh's Online Building Permission System (OBPS). Under the state's 2025 self-certification scheme, a licensed architect, engineer or town planner files the drawings online with a form signed by both the owner and themselves, and the permit issues as soon as the fees are paid. Within 7 days of the plinth beam, they upload an inspection report with geo-tagged photos.
Plot sizes
Plots are sold by the square yard: 1 sq yd = 9 sq ft, so a 200 sq yd plot is 1,800 sq ft. Plot listings seen in October 2026 were mostly 133–220 sq yd: 150 and 220 sq yd in Sarpavaram, 165–180 sq yd in Turangi, 166 sq yd in Gandhi Nagar and 193 sq yd in Madhavapatnam.
Climate
Warm-humid. Kakinada falls in the warm-humid zone of BEE's climate map, on a coast with a normal rainfall of about 1,140 mm a year: rooms face the sea breeze with openings on both sides, openable windows make up at least 16.66% of the floor area, and windows are shaded from the sun.
Earthquake zone
Seismic Zone III. Kakinada is not in IS 1893's table of towns. BMTPC's Vulnerability Atlas of India (2019), drawn before Kakinada district was carved out of East Godavari in April 2022, puts the old East Godavari district partly in Zone II and partly in Zone III (52.2% of its area); we design to Zone III, the stricter of the two. BIS withdrew its 2025 seismic map in March 2026, so the IS 1893:2016 zones still apply.
Ground and water
CGWB found a belt of loose, porous coastal sand 6–10 km wide along the old East Godavari coast, the water table less than 2 m down in parts of Kakinada mandal in May 2012, and brackish groundwater at Kakinada. BMTPC puts 51.4% of the old district in the 50 and 55 m/s wind zones, so roofs, windows and their fixings are designed for cyclone winds.
Where people build
Sarpavaram, Turangi, Madhavapatnam, Gandhi Nagar, Jagannaickpur.
Good to know
On the night of 28 October 2025 the severe cyclonic storm Montha crossed the coast near Narsapuram, south of Kakinada, with winds of 80–90 km/h gusting to 110 km/h; at Uppada in Kakinada district waves flooded homes and broke up parts of the coastal road.

Which earthquake zone is Kakinada in, and does it change the design?

Seismic Zone III. Kakinada is not in IS 1893's table of towns. BMTPC's Vulnerability Atlas of India (2019), drawn before Kakinada district was carved out of East Godavari in April 2022, puts the old East Godavari district partly in Zone II and partly in Zone III (52.2% of its area); we design to Zone III, the stricter of the two. BIS withdrew its 2025 seismic map in March 2026, so the IS 1893:2016 zones still apply. We design the structure to IS 1893 for this zone: column sizes, steel and foundations are calculated, not guessed.

What should I know about the ground before building in Kakinada?

CGWB found a belt of loose, porous coastal sand 6–10 km wide along the old East Godavari coast, the water table less than 2 m down in parts of Kakinada mandal in May 2012, and brackish groundwater at Kakinada. BMTPC puts 51.4% of the old district in the 50 and 55 m/s wind zones, so roofs, windows and their fixings are designed for cyclone winds. We size the foundation after a soil check.

Yes. "inti plan" is how many people in Kakinada write "house plan" in Telugu. We draw the complete set: floor plans, 3D elevation, and structural, electrical and plumbing drawings.
