Odisha rising star of the East, emerging as a key player in country’s industrial ecosystem: Odisha CM

Bhubaneswar: Odisha Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi Monday said that Odisha is a rising star of the East and is emerging as a key player in country’s industrial ecosystem. Addressing a CII session on the eve of Utkarsh Odisha- Make in Odisha Conclave 2025 here beginning from Tuesday, he said that Odisha stands tall as a vigorous partner to script success as a means of its diversified industrial empowerment. “It is the cynosure of solidarity and spirited growth, with a glittering progress,” he said. He said as the Chief Minister, it is his primary objective to create massive opportunities for the people, especially the youth.

“I am inclined to steer the government towards creating a conducive business-friendly ecosystem that is a win-win for all. My vision is simple, yet ambitious: to attract industrial investments, create jobs and ensure sustainable economic growth for the people of Odisha,” he said.

In pursuit of our vision of a Samrudh Odisha by 2036, we have taken several initiatives, to position Odisha as an industrial hub, the Chief Minister said and added that his government has adopted a three-pronged approach—Developing Robust Industrial Infrastructure, Championing Ease of Doing Business and Advocating for Large-scale Job Creation.

“In our own budget, we have earmarked substantial resources, for critical infrastructure projects. Our focus is to provide world-class infrastructure and ready-to-use plug-and-play facilities for companies wishing to set up industrial units in Odisha,” he said.

He said the State Government has also streamlined the regulatory processes to fast-track industrial approvals and clearances. “This will boost the sector and will be instrumental, for our economic juggernaut in the coming days. We never dream to succeed but our success has dreams to cherish. And we hope, we can crystalize the industrial upliftment, with all of you in our side,” Majhi said.

The Chief Minister said his government believes in a transparent and accountable government where every investor is treated as a valued partner. “My doors will always be open for discussions on your success stories, challenges and grievances as part of your journey with us,” he said adding, “My team is dedicated to offering a world-class experience to anyone wishing to invest in Odisha. We aim to make Odisha, the state, that offers not only Ease of Doing Business but also lower Cost of Doing Business.”

Most importantly, industrialization in Odisha is not merely about investment in plants and infrastructure but also, about investing in the people of Odisha, he asserted. “Our core agenda is to generate quality employment opportunities for our people and provide them with the necessary skills and support to help them access high-quality jobs anywhere,” the Chief Minister said.
