Odisha has successfully attracted investment commitments worth ₹48,330 crore during a three-day outreach program in Gujarat, which concluded recently. The delegation, led by Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi, participated in two major roadshows in Ahmedabad and Vadodara, resulting in 71 investment intents, including 8 formal memorandums of understanding. This marks the second-highest investment intent for Odisha this year, following a significant commitment of around ₹1 trillion received during the Kolkata investors’ summit in January.

The investments are projected to generate employment for over 67,800 individuals across various sectors, significantly contributing to the state's industrialization plans aligned with its Vision 2036 and Viksit Bharat 2047 goals. Majhi highlighted the broad participation from industrial houses and investors, showcasing confidence in Odisha's policy framework and infrastructure readiness. The proposals cover diverse sectors, including chemicals, pharmaceuticals, green energy, IT services, and advanced engineering.

During the outreach, Odisha was positioned as a strategic hub for industries looking to access eastern and international markets, with a focus on its deep-water ports and connectivity to East Asia and Southeast Asia. The state aims to play a pivotal role in India's industrial growth, emphasizing a partnership built on trust and execution with potential investors.
