The JSW Project of Odisha which is making the talks in the industry for quiet a while now for being the most greener project has recently got its environmental clearence. The clearence is for setting up a 13.2 MTPA green-field integrated steel plant near Paradip from the union ministry of environment and forest and climate change, as per the reports of a senior official of a company.
This massive project held in Odisha will create employment opportunities for 72,000 people. It will provide 15,000 direct and 54,000 indirect employment opportunities. The project, to be built on an area of 2,750 acres, will only work on 2.6 acres of private land, with the consent of the landowner.
The state-of-the-art and environmentally-friendly integrated steel plant project is estimated to cost around Rs 65,000 crore. It has already been approved by JSW board members. The project work will start on a phased basis as soon as the Odisha government provides land for it. The approved project is one of the largest in the country in terms of production capacity.
