Bhubaneswar, April 21

Odisha government's State Level Single Window Clearance Authority on Tuesday approved as many as 18 industrial projects with a total investment of Rs 3,877.14 crore.

According to an official statement, these industrial projects, approved during the 146th meeting of the SLSWCA, Odisha, chaired by Chief Secretary Anu Garg, are expected to generate 7,565 employment opportunities. The industries are proposed to be established across 11 districts, including Balasore, Deogarh, Ganjam, Jajpur, Jharsuguda, Keonjhar, Khordha, Koraput, Puri, Sambalpur and Sundargarh.

"The projects approved in the 146th SLSWCA meeting reflect Odisha Government's focused strategy of building a diversified industrial ecosystem spanning advanced manufacturing, green industries, infrastructure, healthcare, and tourism-while ensuring large-scale employment generation across regions," informed the state government.

Among the major projects, Runaya Eckart Aluminium Powders Private Limited has proposed to establish a gas atomised spherical aluminium powder manufacturing unit in Jharsuguda district with an investment of Rs 300 crore.

Additionally, companies like Scan Steels Limited, Jay Jagannath Steel and Power Limited and SS Alufoils International Limited have proposed to expand steel, iron and ferro-alloy manufacturing capacities, reinforcing Odisha's position as India's premier metal manufacturing hub while generating significant industrial employment.

The SLSWCA also approved several other industrial projects in sectors including explosives and industrial materials, electronics system design and manufacturing, pharmaceuticals and medical devices, shipbuilding and maritime manufacturing, and the tourism and hospitality sector.

The official sources further noted that over the last two years alone, the state government has successfully grounded and inaugurated more than 150 industrial projects, reflecting a strong commitment to translating investment intent into on-ground industrial activity.

"Guided by the vision of Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi, Odisha is steadily advancing towards becoming a leading industrial growth engine of Eastern India, contributing to the national vision of Viksit Bharat 2047 while realising the goal of Samruddha Odisha 2036," claimed the state government.

Good to see diversification beyond just steel and metals. Electronics, pharma, and tourism sectors getting a push is crucial for balanced growth. Odisha has so much potential!

While the investment numbers sound impressive, I hope the government ensures these projects don't harm the environment, especially in districts like Keonjhar and Koraput. Sustainable development is key.

The focus on 'green industries' is a welcome step. India's industrial growth needs to be coupled with environmental responsibility. Hope other states take note of Odisha's strategy.

As someone from the eastern region, it's heartening to see Odisha stepping up. Eastern India has lagged in industrial development for too long. This is progress towards a more balanced national economy. 👍

The proof will be in the execution. Approving projects is one thing, but getting them grounded and operational without delays is the real challenge. Hope the single-window system lives up to its name.
