STELCO has commenced the development of the power distribution network in the island, and plans to complete the network by 15 days.

Maldives Transport and Contracting Company (MTCC) has reclaimed eight hectares of land for the Kudagiri Picnic Island. MTCC is currently developing the shore protection structures of the island.

Kudagiri Picnic Island will be developed with family rooms, food outlets, huts, and barbeque areas as well as changing rooms with lockers, nursing rooms, and prayer rooms. The island will also have an area allocated for events.
