Naupada is a village located in Santha Bommali mandal of Srikakulam district near to major town palasa, and Tekkali constituency in Andhra Pradesh, India. It is famous for salt fields and called the "Salt Bowl of Andhra Pradesh". It is better known for its railway junction station.

Geographically, the settlement known as "Naupada" is called Khaspanaupada.

Since a few years ago, 1.5 to 2 crore Quintas of salt were produced annually by the Naupada people. The majority of the formers are unable to pay it because they must work hard and lose money as a result of the market downturn, massive output, labor costs, and diesel prices.
