The Chief Minister held one-to-one discussions with senior leadership from major companies across priority sectors such as pharmaceuticals, medical devices, green energy, textiles, food processing, engineering goods, automotive components and capital equipment manufacturing. The meetings focused on new investment opportunities and expansion plans in Odisha’s fast growing industrial ecosystem.

Fifteen Government to Business (G2B) meetings were conducted, involving companies including Indorama Industries Ltd, Jindal Poly Films, ABI Showatech Pvt. Ltd., and Maruti’s metals and downstream vertical. These engagements resulted in investment intentions worth Rs19,500 crore, expected to create around 7,500 jobs.

In addition, seven Memoranda of Understanding (MoUs) were signed, committing investments of Rs19,200 crore and generating employment opportunities for nearly 12,700 people. Industries and Skill Development Minister Sampad Chandra Swain and senior state officials were present during the deliberations.

The Chief Minister said the robust response from industry reflects rising confidence in Odisha’s policy stability, infrastructure readiness and governance reforms. “Our focus is on building long term partnerships through policy clarity, responsive governance and a future ready ecosystem that enables innovation, job creation and sustainable growth,” he said.

A sectoral roundtable with pharmaceutical industry leaders was also held, following the momentum created by the Odisha Pharma Summit 2025. Discussions centred on the state’s new Pharmaceutical Policy and the development of dedicated Pharmaceutical and Medical Devices Parks.

Officials noted that the interest from new age industries underscores Odisha’s transition toward a diversified, value added and market driven industrial economy.

The main Odisha Investors’ Meet will be held on Friday, featuring a larger conference with industry leaders, business associations and institutional stakeholders. The programme will include investment presentations, leadership interactions and MoU exchanges, offering deeper insights into Odisha’s growth trajectory and investment potential.
