However, agricultural economy suffers during summer months due to water scarcity. The economy of Warangal is also depended upon tourism as it receives hundreds of tourists every year because of its historical significance. Let us take a look at some of the major industries of this region:

Information Technology Industry in Warangal

Not many information technology companies exist here at the moment, but the recent government has decided to set up a Software Technology Park of India (STPI) in NIT Warangal. Their intentions are to lure Information Technology companies due to its proximity to Hyderabad, which is already a favorite place among Information Technology fraternity. Warangal is supposed to be an excellent choice for Information Technology companies due to some very important factors including proximity to Hyderabad, lower traffic problems, good transportation facilities and cheap infrastructure as compared to tier 1 cities and a good number of bright students from some of the best colleges of India.

Other Industries of Warangal

Warangal is home to some of the small and medium scale industries, but the large scale industries could not be developed here due to the negligence of the government towards development of the area. Even some of the existing businesses started during Nizam’s Rule have been closed, enhancing the unemployment in the area due to the same reason. Azam Jahi Mills is the example of the same. If the scenario will continue in the same way, Naxalite movement can increase in the area due to increasing unemployment day by day. Leather Tanning, Textile industry, Tobacco Products, Wooden Furniture, Paper and paper products, Mineral based products, Electrical Machinery and Transport Equipments, Repairing and services and Animal Husbandry are some of the other industries flourished here at a comparatively small level.
