Adani Group will invest ₹33,081 crore in Odisha across three projects—a data centre, thermal power plant, and cement unit—creating 9,700 jobs. Karan Adani said Odisha is poised to lead India’s industrial rise.
Bhubaneswar, Apr 8: Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone (APSEZ) Managing Director Karan Adani on Wednesday announced a massive investment of ₹33,081 crore in Odisha, spanning three major projects that will generate nearly 9,700 jobs.
The first project is a data centre in Bhubaneswar, with an investment of ₹800 crore. According to Adani, this facility will support the state’s digital economy and create around 200 jobs.
The second and largest project is a thermal power plant near Cuttack, worth ₹30,181 crore. This plant is expected to generate about 7,000 jobs while strengthening power supply for industries and households across Odisha.
The third project is a cement manufacturing unit, also near Cuttack, with an investment of ₹2,100 crore. It will create approximately 2,500 jobs and contribute to infrastructure development in the state.
Taken together, these projects are a statement of belief. A belief that Odisha is not on the cusp of its moment—it is in it. That the next chapter of India’s industrial rise will be written here, in this State, by these people,” Karan Adani said while speaking at the inauguration of industrial projects.
He emphasised the Adani Group’s growing presence in Odisha and its long-term commitment to the state’s development. “Odisha is no longer a state in transition but one that clearly understands its direction and growth path,” he noted.
Adani highlighted that the state’s vision is credible because of its strong foundation. “The resources are here. The people are here. The governance reform is happening. What remains is the act of building—decisively, at scale, and with a long horizon,” he added.
He further stated that Odisha is already playing an important role in India’s economic future and will continue to grow as a major industrial and technological centre. The Adani Group, he said, sees itself as a long-term partner in this journey.
