In the field of industrialization, the progress of Gadchiroli district is very poor. Most of the area of Gadchiroli district is covered with the forest and do not have rail link. Thus, due to the Forest Conservation act, particularly Zudpi Jungle problem, transportation and Naxal activities in the district, Industrial Developments for both Small Scale Sector and Medium Industries has not taken place.

Economy is wholly Agriculture & Forest labor based. There is absence of Forest based industries also. The tribals and scheduled caste sectors continue to suffer from poor economic conditions and hence are always prone to disasters caused by floods, heavy rains and health problems.
