Following successful roadshows in Hyderabad and Kolkata, Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi will go to Gujarat for three days from May 5 to May 7 as part of the Odisha government’s continuous attempts to draw investments into the state.
In order to promote Odisha as a top investment destination, the Chief Minister is expected to visit four cities and interact with business owners and business executives. On May 5, Ahmedabad will host a significant investment roadshow, roundtable talks, and one-on-one meetings with prominent businesspeople. The signing of Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs) and securing investment intents across important industries are anticipated to be facilitated by these interactions.
According to the official release, the state will pitch high-potential sectors including textiles and apparel, chemicals and petrochemicals, metals and downstream industries, and pharmaceuticals and medical equipment, aiming to attract capital from western India into Odisha’s expanding industrial ecosystem.
As part of efforts to strengthen port-led development, the delegation will visit Mundra Port on May 6 to explore opportunities in logistics and port-based industries. On May 7, an investors’ meet will be held in Vadodara, followed by a visit to Kevadia to further deepen industrial linkages.
The high-level delegation will include Industries, Skill Development and Technical Education Minister Sampad Chandra Swain along with senior government officials.
Ahead of the visit, Majhi said Odisha’s robust infrastructure and skilled workforce have positioned it as an attractive investment hub. He expressed confidence that the Gujarat tour would open new avenues for investment, generate employment, and contribute significantly to the state’s vision of becoming a prosperous economy by 2036.
