In a major boost to Odisha's industrial landscape, the State Level Single Window Clearance Authority (SLSWCA) has approved 24 investment proposals worth ₹3,793.33 crore, projected to generate approximately 20,000 jobs across 14 districts. The approved projects span various sectors, notably textiles, clean energy, and tourism. The textiles sector is poised to be the largest job creator, highlighted by Nandraj Textiles Pvt Ltd's apparel manufacturing unit in Khurda, which alone is expected to create over 10,000 jobs with an investment of ₹168.64 crore. Other significant investments include CESC Green Power Ltd's ₹683.83 crore Battery Energy Storage System facility in Dhenkanal and a five-star resort by Swosti Premium Ltd in Koraput, which will create 480 jobs. The state government is focusing on geographically diverse industrial growth, ensuring that investments are spread across districts such as Koraput, Sambalpur, and Jajpur, rather than concentrated in a few areas. This strategy aims to enhance local employment opportunities and strengthen the overall economic framework of Odisha.
