Claiming that Odisha’s industrial policy offers support and incentives which are “beyond the best in the country”, the chief minister said that the state is going to launch new policies in the sectors of tourism, renewable energy, apparel and textile, food processing and exports.
Noting that Odisha is a major force in the field of mining and mineral-based industries, the chief minister said the state has attracted major investments in steel and aluminium projects and will emerge as the global hub in these sectors by the turn of this decade.
Patnaik said the state is ambitious to develop in other sectors too. “We are making a huge capital investment in improving our transport infrastructure – expressways, railways, airports, sea ports. We are a pioneer in electricity reforms and have successfully created the framework and investment towards providing quality affordable energy,” he said.
