Kapileswarapuram is one of the biggest villages in Krishna District located about 30 km from Vijayawada. The history of this village rolls back to the period of Gajapathis of Orissa. The village is named after Gajapathi Kapileswara Deva. He was succeeded by Vidyadhara Gajapathi who built Vidyadharapuram and constructed a reservoir at Kondaplli.

The KCP sugar factory of Vuyyuru is just 5 km away from Kapileswarapuram. This sugar unit was established at Vuyyuru in the year 1941 with a crushing capacity of 600 TCD. The present crushing capacity is 8500 TCD and this is one of the largest sugar factories in the country and also one among the most modern.
