Bethamcherla is a town with Nagar panchayat civic status and mandal headquarters located in Nandyal district of the Indian state of Andhra Pradesh.

It was in the sixth century that people used to quench their thirst here, grow dairy crops, and provide water to horses, thus the area was known as Betham pond.

The Chalukyas who ruled the region dug a big pond here.

When the name of Bethamcherla town is mentioned, the world famous Chalwa Rati(Lime Stone) comes to mind.

This town was developed by Mr. Buggana Rajendranath Reddy(Y.S.R Congress party Ministry).
