Additionally, 6 mandals have been assigned in Palnadu District, encompassing Narasaraopet, Rompicharla, Atchampet, Krosuru, Nekarikallu, and Pedakurapadu.

This allocation represents a significant portion of the total 32 mandals distributed by the government across five districts under the oil palm development initiative.

Strategic Impact and Future Prospects

The mandal allotment is expected to significantly enhance Diligent Industries' operational capabilities in the oil palm cultivation segment.
