Andhra Pradesh State Irrigation Development Corporation was established in 1974 as an autonomous corporation under the Government of Andhra Pradesh, with main objective to take up the onus to provide irrigation facilities to upland areas to uplift small and marginal farmers including SC's and ST's with the funds provided by Government, Institutions and beneficiaries etc. 

The Regd. office of the corporation is located at Hyderabad (#8-2-674/2/B, Road No.13, Banjara Hills, Hyderabad - 500034, Andhra Pradesh, India.) headed by Vice Chairman and Managing Director with Chairman and Board of Directors consisting of Official and non-Official members appointed by Government of Andhra Pradesh. 

There are 12 divisions and 2 project offices located in district head quarters and Major Towns. The Corporation is having experienced technical and non technical staff for implementation of these schemes.

APSIDC continues to be the sole agency responsible for implementing all LI Schemes up to 10,000 acres of command areas, with specific goals of building new schemes wherever feasible and necessary; and also to ensure proper management of the schemes. All LI schemes constructed by APSIDC are handed over to the Farmers’ Committees for their operation and maintenance. All LI Schemes where the installed capacity of pump sets is 75 HP or more and having dedicated power lines get 16 hours power supply, so that ayacut envisaged under the scheme is fully irrigated. 

Up to 31 March 2009, APSIDC had commissioned 1541 LI schemes under different programmes creating irrigation potential of 675,117 acres. Thus the total ayacut created under APSIDC is 902,630 acres. With the 104 LI schemes sanctioned under RIDF and State Plan programmes under execution, additional ayacut of 119,815 acres will be provided with irrigation facilities.
