BHUBANESWAR: The 119th State Level Single Window Clearance Authority (SLSWCA) chaired by Odisha Chief Secretary Pradeep Kumar Jena approved 11 industrial projects on Monday worth approximately Rs 3,266 crore, generating 9,146 employment opportunities for the people of the State.
Projects spread across diverse sectors like Metal Downstream and Ancillary, Chemicals, Food Processing, Agro Processing, Plastics, Textiles Apparel, IT & ESDM, and Renewable Energy received approvals in the 119th SLSWCA. The approved projects will be set up across various parts of the State including Balasore, Bolangir, Kalahandi, Khurda and Jajpur districts.
Odisha has consistently been a leader in the mining and metallurgy sector owing to its natural resource advantage. However, in the last few years, due to concerted efforts by the Government of Odisha, the State has been able to broad-base its industrial ecosystem and has attracted a leading multinational company Nestlé India Limited in the food-processing sector. Nestle will be setting up a food processing unit with an investment of over Rs 890 crore providing employment to over 800 people.
