Bhubaneswar/New Delhi, Apr 8: In an event that highlights Odisha's rapid march towards industrial prosperity, the state government signed Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs) worth nearly a staggering ₹1 lakh crore – ₹96,686 crore at the Odisha Investors Meet.

Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi hailed this achievement as a transformative milestone for Odisha, describing it as a day of great fortune for the state.

The partnership agreements included major players like the Indian Oil Corporation Limited (IOCL) under the Central Government's Petroleum Ministry, alongside 13 other renowned companies. These MoUs span across industries including textiles, IT, logistics, and petrochemicals — promising robust growth and job creation in the state.
