Development

Nellore these days expanded enormously. Krishnapatnam is a major port and market center situated at a distance of 20 km. The port is hoped to become a world-class deep water port. Iron ore and granite are being exported at present to other countries like China. One Railway line links it with Vekatachalam on main railway line. An International Leather park will start working soon at Krishnapatnam. A railway line is being constructed from Krishnapatnam to Obulavari palle to link up this port with Mumbai Railway line.

Recently Central government gave clearance to IFFCO fertilizer factory at Regadi Chelika near Nellore. Central government is also planning to setup a 'Petro Chemical Terminal' at Krishnapatnam. Proximity to the sea as well as its central location in this agricultural heartland has helped Nellore to grow. But lack of vision in past rulers and in present ones is hampering the growth. Nellore is also famous for quality rice production and aqua (prawn and fish) culture. It is a noted center for products such as cotton, lemon and oilseeds. A main railway line passes through Nellore and national highway number 5 serves the city. It offers the visitor a few good religious sites to visit as well as a pristine beach, Kotha Koduru nearby.
