In a significant move to boost industrialization, Odisha has rolled out 36 industrial projects with a total investment of ₹40,811 crore (approximately $4.9 billion USD). Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi announced these initiatives during a ceremony in Bhuinpur, Khurda district, marking a transition from investment intentions to actual execution. The projects span various sectors, including green energy, textiles, and defense manufacturing, and are expected to generate over 59,000 jobs. Majhi described this as part of Odisha's second industrial revolution, highlighting the government's focus on timely project delivery and transparency. He noted that the state has already inaugurated or grounded 109 projects worth about ₹2.5 trillion (around $30 billion USD) over the past 18 months, creating approximately 1.76 lakh jobs (176,000). The Chief Minister emphasized that these developments will reduce import dependence and strengthen Odisha's role in global supply chains. Notable companies involved include Adani Enterprises Limited and Page Industries, which recently inaugurated a textile facility in Cuttack district expected to create 5,850 jobs. With a budgetary provision of over ₹72,000 crore (approximately $8.7 billion USD) this fiscal year for industrial infrastructure, the government aims for accelerated project implementation and economic growth.
