The trust shown by investors from across India and abroad highlights the strength of our policies, the speed of governance, and our vision for a self-reliant and developed State.”

The day’s approvals were divided between two key meetings. The 42nd High-Level Clearance Authority (HLCA) meeting, chaired by the Chief Minister, greenlit 12 major projects worth ₹1,41,993.54 crore, expected to generate 49,745 jobs. Notable investments include Adani Enterprises Limited’s ₹84,000 crore coal-to-chemical project in Sundargarh, creating 36,000 jobs; Jindal India Power Limited’s ₹14,800 crore ultra-supercritical coal-based thermal power plant in Angul; and ACME Akshay Energy Private Limited’s green methanol and ammonia facilities in Kendrapara, totaling over ₹14,766.50 crore.

Earlier, the 141st Single Window Committee meeting, led by Chief Secretary Manoj Ahuja, approved 21 projects amounting to ₹4,019.53 crore, with a potential for 16,590 jobs. Key proposals include Reliance Consumer’s ₹938 crore food and beverage manufacturing plant in Khordha; Icon Solar-En Power Technologies’ ₹750 crore solar cells facility in Ganjam; and several textiles and apparel units, such as Toray Mas Apparel’s ₹392 crore unit in Khordha and Bonie Enclave’s ₹70 crore babies and kids apparel project in Puri. Tourism received a boost with investments in luxury hotels and resorts, while downstream metal and logistics projects further diversified the portfolio.

Over the past 500 days, Odisha has established a new benchmark under the “Double Engine – One Vision, Double Impact” framework. A total of 12 Single Window meetings and 7 HLCA meetings have approved 330 projects with ₹7.7 lakh crore in investments, poised to create 4.7 lakh jobs across sectors like metals, chemicals, textiles, food processing, and IT/ESDM. Additionally, 76 projects have been fast-tracked and grounded, and 8 inaugurated, involving ₹2.04 lakh crore and generating 1.63 lakh direct jobs.

This surge in industrial activity underscores Odisha’s focus on sustainable development, skill-based employment, and attracting global investors. By prioritising local workforce participation and infrastructure improvements, the state is positioning itself as a key contributor to India’s economic growth, blending industrial progress with human development for a prosperous future.
