The project traverses through the region rich in natural resources like coal, iron ore, lime stone, soap stone. Agriculture is the main stay of the people. The irrigation potential of the region has been enormously enhanced due to Godavari river, Sriramsagarproject SRSP, Pochampad link canal and lower Manair irrigation projects. The Flood flow canal envisages enhancement in irrigation facilities in this region. The areas of Karimnagar and Jagityal which were initially not on the railway system and this new BG railway line opened this region for economic growth.
