Between 1893 and 1896, 1,288 km (800 mi) of the East Coast State Railway was opened for traffic. In 1898–99, Bengal Nagpur Railway was linked to the lines in southern India.[2]

Visakhapatnam Steel Plant was established in the 1980s and the first coke oven battery was commissioned in 1989.[3][non sequitur]
