The key projects include:

• Transmission System Strengthening at Kurnool-III Pooling Station — worth ₹2,880 crore, aimed at boosting renewable energy transmission.
• Orvakal and Kopparthy Industrial Areas — with a total investment of over ₹4,920 crore, expected to attract ₹21,000 crore in further investment and generate one lakh jobs.

The projects are part of the government’s broader plan to accelerate industrial growth and improve infrastructure in the Rayalaseema region.
