Prime Minister Modi officially opened the Make in Odisha Exhibition, which showcases the state’s accomplishments in fostering a dynamic industrial ecosystem. This exhibition will act as a forum for industry leaders, investors, and policymakers to gather and explore the opportunities that make Odisha an attractive investment hub.
The two-day business conclave, ‘Utkarsh Odisha’, is featuring CEOs and Leaders’ Roundtables, Sectoral Sessions, B2B meetings, and Policy Discussions, facilitating focused interactions with global investors.
Over 7,000 delegates, including diplomats, investors, and industrialists from India and 12 other nations, are anticipated to attend the conclave. Approximately 7,500 industry representatives have registered through the Make in Odisha 2025 event website.
Prominent industry figures such as SL Mittal, Om Mangalam Birla, Anil Agarwal, Hitesh Joshi, TV Narendran, Karan Adani, Naveen Jindal, and Aiklan Jindal are also participating in the summit. It is expected that more than 100 investment agreements will be finalized during the event.
Anil Agarwal, Chairman of Vedanta Group, expressed, “For those in search of paradise, Odisha stands out as the ideal destination. It is the most sought-after location, characterized by its wonderful people. To me, it resembles a second Australia. As Odisha emerges as a hub for aluminum, our primary objective is to enhance aluminum production within the state, which will subsequently benefit various sectors such as railways, automobiles, airlines, construction, and more, ultimately creating additional employment opportunities for the youth.”
Naveen Jindal, Chairman of JSPL, remarked, “The double-engine government will accelerate development in Odisha at an unprecedented rate. With the blessings of Lord Jagannath, we are progressing steadily. We have already committed Rs 1 lakh crore, engaging approximately 2.5 lakh individuals in our projects, either directly or indirectly. Shortly, we plan to invest further in industrial growth. The capacity of the Angul steel plant will be increased from 6 million tonnes to 12 million tonnes annually. Over the next six years, we aim to establish the world’s largest steel plant in Angul, with a capacity of 25 million tonnes per year.”
JSPL has made a substantial investment of Rs 1 lakh crore in the state, which encompasses industrial expansion initiatives and the anticipated announcement of two new steel plants in Angul and Deogarh. Likewise, the Vedanta Group is expected to invest Rs 1 lakh crore in Odisha, with Chairman Anil Agarwal likely to make this announcement soon.
