Narkhed and Amravati towns in Maharashtra's orange belt have waited for more than 80 years to be linked by rail. The 140-km track was first sanctioned in 1928 under the British, but stayed on the backburner. The project was revived only in 1993/94 and a budget of Rs 2.84 billion approved.<ref>{{Cite web | url=http://businesstoday.intoday.in/story/how-different-things-work/1/18367.html |title = How different things work- Business News}}</ref>

The then Prime Minister [[P.V. Narasimha Rao]] laid the foundation stone. But protests by the [[Shiv Sena]], which opposed the displacement of people, stalled the project for many more years.

In September 2008, when President [[Pratibha Patil]] inaugurated the [[New Amravati railway station]], it seemed as if the project would be completed soon. Far from it. In November 2009, the Railway Ministry announced the link would be inaugurated in December 2010.

[[Narkhed-Amravati line]] is ready on January 2014. Railways are now available to travel from [[Narkhed]] to [[Bhusaval]]. Warud's railway station has given the name [[Warud Orange City railway station|Warud Orange City]] because it is the biggest exporter of oranges from all over the India. The railway station is 3 km from the centre of the Warud city.

The [[Amravati]] - [[Chandur Bazar]] - [[Morshi]] - [[Warud Orange City railway station|Warud Orange City]] - [[Narkher]] railway track is electrified. People of Warud can travel by train to cities like [[Amravati]], [[Akola]], [[Shegaon]], [[Bhusawal]], [[Washim]], [[Hingoli]], [[Nanded]], [[Hyderabad]], [[Narkher]], [[Morshi]], [[Chandur Bazar]], [[Badnera]], [[Indore]], [[Bhopal]], [[Banglore]]

===Roadways===
There is a Warud MSRTC Depot of Maharashtra State Transport (S.T. Bus) in Warud city. It has better connectivity with neighbouring towns and districts [[Amaravati]], [[Akola]], [[Nagpur]], [[Yavatmal]] and [[Wardha]]. Buses for neighbouring state Madhya Pradesh are also available.

==Agriculture==
[[Shendurjana Ghat|Shendurjana]] Ghat, Jarud, Pusla, Isambri, Bahada, Tembhurkheda and Jamthi are the main exporters of oranges in Warud taluka. That is why it is also known as Orange City or [[California]] of India. Warud has an agriculture based economy.
