Berhampur functions as a trade and commerce hub for southern Odisha, with a base of small-scale engineering, pharmaceutical, chemical, and food-processing units, some IT/ITES presence, and proximity to the Gopalpur industrial and port area (Source: berhampuronline.in). This claim rests on a single local-directory source that was not independently corroborated during verification, so it should be treated as indicative rather than confirmed.
