In a powerful demonstration of its pro-industry and job-focused governance, the Odisha Government has approved 24 major industrial investment proposals worth Rs 3,793.33 crore that are set to generate 19,924 direct employment opportunities across 14 districts.
The landmark decisions were taken at the 147th State Level Single Window Clearance Authority (SLSWCA) meeting, chaired by Chief Secretary Anu Garg, IAS, under the visionary guidance of Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi.
The approvals reflect the state’s continued momentum in converting investment intent into on-ground action and moving decisively towards the long-term goal of Samruddha Odisha 2036.
The 24 projects showcase remarkable sectoral diversity — spanning steel and metal downstream industries, renewable energy, advanced materials, electronics and EV components, textiles and apparel, tourism and hospitality, infrastructure and logistics, food processing, consumer products, chemicals, and emerging technologies — signalling a future-ready and resilient industrial ecosystem.
These investments will be spread across 14 districts — Khordha, Dhenkanal, Jharsuguda, Koraput, Jajpur, Sambalpur, Keonjhar, Balangir, Puri, Cuttack, Sundargarh, Ganjam, Jagatsinghpur, and Mayurbhanj — ensuring balanced regional development and widespread employment generation.
