The high level clearance authority (HLCA) of the state government gave its approval to five major
industrial projects, a week before Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik travels to Japan to seek out
investments for Odisha. It is recommended that the IT and electronics system design and
manufacturing (ESDM) sectors, steel, chemicals, textile, and green energy equipment industries be
established in the districts of Dhenkanal, Jagatsinghpur, Keonjhar, and Bhadrak. Around 38,000 job
possibilities would be created for the people of the state by the large projects approved by the HLCA
and led by the CM.
According to sources, the committee approved two projects in the steel industry and one each in the
fields of green energy and machinery, IT and ESDM, chemicals, and technological textiles. The HLCA
has accepted WAREE Energies Limited's proposal to build an integrated solar equipment
manufacturing complex at Neulopoi in the Dhenkanal district, which will cost Rs 250 billion. The
company will produce a polysilicon of 50,000 MT and 10,000 MW of ingot, wafer, solar cell, and solar
module units, respectively.
This project, which has been called the largest manufacturing facility in eastern India, would create
an environment for additional investment in the industry. Over 14,000 people are anticipated to
receive employment chances as a result. The proposal by Super Smelters Limited to build a 1.8 MTPA
integrated steel factory in the Keonjhar district with a Rs 54.36 billion investment and the potential
to employ 19,000 people was also approved by the committee.
The HLCA approved another steel project by Kashvi Power and Steel Private Limited. With an
expenditure of Rs 16 billion, the business would construct an integrated steel mill in the Keonjhar
district. More than 3,500 workers will be employed by this 0.55 MTPA capacity factory.
