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, firms such as Scan Steels Limited, Jay Jagannath Steel and Power Limited, and SS Alufoils International Limited have received approvals to expand their steel, iron, and ferro-alloy production capacities, further cementing Odisha’s status as India’s leading metal manufacturing hub.
The SLSWCA also greenlit projects in sectors including explosives and industrial materials, electronics system design and manufacturing (ESDM), pharmaceuticals and medical devices, shipbuilding and maritime manufacturing, as well as tourism and hospitality sector.
Official sources noted that in the past two years, the state has successfully grounded and inaugurated over 150 industrial projects, demonstrating a strong commitment to converting investment intentions into tangible on-ground 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.
