Bhubaneswar, Oct 23: Vedanta Group Chairman Anil Agarwal is scheduled to meet Odisha Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi on Thursday at 3:30 pm at Lok Seva Bhawan to discuss a major investment proposal aimed at boosting industrial development in the state.

The meeting follows a formal letter sent by Agarwal to the Chief Minister a few days ago, proposing a massive ₹1.6 lakh crore investment in Odisha. The proposal includes setting up a large-scale aluminium project with an estimated production capacity of 30 lakh tonnes. The ambitious project is expected to be completed within three and a half years.

Agarwal’s plan also includes the development of a downstream aluminium park, which would further enhance value addition and generate employment opportunities in the region. The initiative is expected to attract ancillary industries and create a robust ecosystem for aluminium-based manufacturing.

This potential investment marks a significant step in Odisha’s industrial growth journey, aligning with the state’s vision to become a leading hub for metal and mineral-based industries. CM Majhi is likely to discuss infrastructure support, land allocation, and policy facilitation during the meeting.

If approved, the project could transform Odisha’s industrial landscape, generate thousands of jobs, and contribute substantially to the state’s economy.
