These include green energy equipment, pharmaceuticals, textiles and apparel, plastics, food processing, downstream aluminum, metal processing, packaging, rubber, biofuel and biofertilizer, chemicals, minerals and rare earth, steel beneficiation, infrastructure, agro-processing, and tourism.
The approved projects will be established in 11 districts: Angul, Ganjam, Khordha, Nabarangpur, Cuttack, Jharsuguda, Bargarh, Sambalpur, Sundargarh, Puri, and Kandhamal. The state government emphasized that these projects would bolster Odisha’s industrial base and foster sustained economic growth.
Highlighting Odisha’s emergence as a premier investment destination in Eastern India, the state government pointed to the success of recent Utkarsh Odisha roadshows held in Delhi, Mumbai, and Singapore. Under Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi’s leadership, the state has attracted significant investor interest, reinforcing Odisha’s status as a landmark destination for industrial ventures.
The upcoming Utkarsh Odisha: Make in Odisha Conclave-2025, scheduled for January 28 and 29 in Bhubaneswar, is set further to showcase the state’s industrial potential and investment opportunities.
