Delhi Launches Policy to Propel National Development and City Growth
Amaravati has taken a major step in industrial infrastructure planning by publishing the final master plan for the Orvakal Node under the Hyderabad Bengaluru Industrial Corridor (HBIC). The plan covers 9,719 acres and outlines a phased land use pattern that prioritises industrial development. According to the approved framework, over half the land is earmarked for industrial use, while the rest will support transport, utilities, residential, and green infrastructure—signalling a balanced and future-ready regional development blueprint.
The final master plan for the Orvakal Node under the HBIC lays the groundwork for large-scale industrial growth and structured urban development in southern Andhra Pradesh. Of the total 9,719-acre site, 52% will be allocated for industrial activities across three phases. The first phase will utilise 1,424 acres, followed by 3,594 acres in the second, and 5,017 acres in the third phase. This phased rollout aligns with demand-led development strategies to optimise land utilisation while maintaining ecological balance. The remaining land is designated for vital urban infrastructure including roads, utilities, waterbodies, commercial and residential zones, as well as green spaces and public amenities. Officials emphasise that this diversified land-use approach will facilitate sustainable economic hubs, attract manufacturing investments, and support regional employment. The Orvakal Node is expected to become a catalyst for industrial acceleration across the HBIC’s influence areas, connecting central India with the southern economic corridors of Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, and Karnataka.
The Hyderabad Bengaluru Industrial Corridor is designed to be a multi-state economic zone, and Orvakal’s finalised blueprint reflects this strategic ambition. By balancing industrial space with community infrastructure, the plan ensures the node is not just an economic engine but also a liveable zone for the future workforce. Connectivity will play a critical role in the node’s development, with transportation infrastructure integrated into the land-use model, promoting smooth movement of goods and workers. The corridor’s positioning across three states creates a logistics and supply chain advantage that is expected to attract investors in automotive, electronics, agro-processing, and logistics sectors. Experts believe that the timely publication of the Orvakal plan reinforces investor confidence and accelerates groundwork for industrial setup. Additionally, the corridor’s influence will facilitate the flow of capital and employment, enhancing economic resilience in the region. The final master plan showcases a scalable development model for future industrial nodes under similar corridors nationwide.
The publication of Orvakal Node’s final master plan under the Hyderabad Bengaluru Industrial Corridor marks a milestone in Andhra Pradesh’s infrastructure strategy. With over 9,700 acres mapped for industrial and urban development, the plan sets a strong foundation for phased growth and regional integration. It reflects a balanced approach—prioritising both economic potential and urban sustainability. As implementation progresses, this node is expected to catalyse employment, attract industry investments, and strengthen the corridor’s inter-state connectivity. Experts view this development as a model for industrial infrastructure planning across India’s expanding economic corridors.
