Odisha Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi conducted a groundbreaking ceremony for 12 industrial projects with a combined investment of Rs 28,084 crore in Ganjam district.
The projects span green energy, advanced manufacturing, logistics, agro-processing and infrastructure sectors and are likely to create employment opportunities for 15,455 people. These projects are located across TATA Steel SEZ, Gopalpur, Chhatrapur, Buguda, and Barapalli areas.
Terming it a major milestone in transforming southern Odisha into an industrial hub, Mohan Charan Mahji said Odisha’s double-engine government is focused on inclusive growth through industry, healthcare and skill development.
“Post-Utkarsh Odisha and Make-in-Odisha conclaves, Rs 1.5 lakh crore worth of projects have been implemented within five months, creating 90,000 jobs. Gopalpur Port is emerging as a key gateway, with a 75,000 km global road network in the pipeline. With initiatives like the World Skill Centre and Lakhpati Didi, the state is progressing confidently toward a Samruddha Odisha by 2036 and a Viksit Bharat by 2047,” he said.
