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 District.
