The Prime Minister expressed his happiness in initiating multiple road connectivity projects that are set to bring transformative change to the region. The Nagpur-Vijayawada Economic Corridor promises to streamline transportation and business activities across Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, and Maharashtra, thereby boosting trade, tourism, and industry in these regions. He shared that this corridor will feature prominent economic centers, encompassing 8 Special Economic Zones, 5 Mega food parks, 4 seafood and fishing clusters, 3 pharma and medical hubs, and a textiles cluster. This development presents numerous opportunities for the young population in districts like Hanamkonda, Mahabubabad, Warangal, and Khammam.
The Prime Minister highlighted the need for rail and road connectivity for a land-locked state like Telangana for taking the goods manufactured here to the ports. He said many key economic corridors of the country are passing through Telangana. All these will become a medium to connect the state with the East and West Coast. The Suryapet-Khammam section of the Hyderabad Visakhapatnam corridor will also help in this. It will help in reaching the East Coast. Besides, logistics, the logistics expenses for industries and businesses will decrease. The railway line under construction between the Jaklair and Krishna sections will hold significant value for the local residents, he stated.
