In an effort to boost economic growth and create 7,565 employment in 11 districts around the state, the Odisha government authorized 18 industrial projects totaling ₹3,877.14 crore on Tuesday. Chief Secretary Anu Garg presided over the 146th meeting of the State Level Single Window Clearance Authority (SLSWCA), where the permissions were approved.
The most recent batch of approvals coincides with Odisha’s increased industrialization efforts under Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi, with an emphasis on accelerating investments, guaranteeing quick project footing, and creating jobs. More than 150 industrial projects have been grounded and launched in the last two years, according to officials, demonstrating the State’s focus on converting investment intent into practical implementation.

Runaya Eckart Aluminium Powders Private Limited will establish an aluminium downstream facility in the metals and downstream sector, and Scan Steels Limited, Jay Jagannath Steel & Power Limited, and SS Alufoils International Limited will increase their manufacturing capacities, solidifying Odisha’s status as a significant metal hub.
