Industrial Scenario:

The South East part of Nalgonda District, along the Krishna belt is rich in high

grade limestone, which is the main raw material to cement industry and as such

many cement industries in Large and Medium Sector as well as clinker grinding units

have come up in that area. Due to abundance of granite many granite cutting and

polishing units have been established in Suryapet area and also in the district border

nearer to Hyderabad. Because of Nagarjunasagar project and SLBC, agriculture

output has increased and has resulted in establishment of raw rice mills and

parboiled rice mills. Nalgonda has the largest cluster of parboiled rice mills in

Andhra Pradesh. Due to close proximity to state capital many Large and Medium

Scale industries have been established in Bibinagar area and also along NH-9 from

Pochampally to Narketpally. Plastic industries are mainly located in Suryapet area.

Nalgonda District is industrially progressing in Andhra Pradesh State The

cement plants and many sophisticated industries have already been established.

Nagarjuna Sagar, a major multipurpose project is located in the District. It has got

bright agricultural resources and hence Agro based industries are flourishing.

Limestone, Clay and Feldspar are the important mineral resources available in the

District. The Bibinagar-Guntur and Secunderabad-Kazipet railway lines are providing

transport to the major industrial products in the District. Due to the rich mineral

resources there is further scope for the establishing of new industries in the

District.

Choutuppal (mandal) on the National highway-9 in 50 acres of land with 114

industrial plots. The park is situated at 38 kilometers away from Hyderabad. There is

a scope for setting up of Textile based units. In addition to the above, any demand

based industry can be set up in Nalgonda District, as it is proximity to Hyderabad,

where there is a huge market potential is available.

Bibinagar- Alair Industrial corridor: Engg. Based units, Food based, Explosives,

Sponge iron plants etc.

Choutuppal-Narketpally industrial corridor: Drugs& Drug intermediates,
