Orvakal Node at Kurnool District, Andhra Pradesh is being developed as a Mega Industrial Hub as part of Hyderabad Bengaluru Industrial Corridor (HBIC). Hyderabad Bengaluru Industrial Corridor (HBIC) aims to integrate several manufacturing clusters in the region between Hyderabad and Bengaluru with requisite infrastructure backbone.
