Odisha is gearing up for an economic revolution as Karan Adani, MD of Adani Ports and SEZ, announced a whopping Rs 33,081 crore infusion into three game-changing projects. Expected to create 9,700 jobs, this move underscores the conglomerate’s bet on the eastern state’s bright future.
Kicking off with a Rs 800 crore data center in the capital Bhubaneswar, the project will spark digital transformation and employ 200 professionals, drawing tech giants to the region.
The crown jewel is a Rs 30,181 crore thermal power plant near Cuttack, set to generate 7,000 jobs while stabilizing power supply for homes and factories, critical for Odisha’s industrial surge.
A Rs 2,100 crore cement plant in the same vicinity will add 2,500 jobs, bolstering the infrastructure sector and enabling faster urban and rural development.
At an event marking new industrial launches, Karan Adani declared these projects as badges of faith in Odisha’s trajectory. ‘We’re not merely investing; we’re building an economic hub,’ he asserted, praising the state’s resources, people, and governance evolution.
Adani’s growing presence signals a long-haul commitment. Odisha, he said, understands its direction perfectly and stands ready for rapid advancement. With its pivotal economic role, the state is destined to become India’s next industrial beacon, backed by partners like Adani for the long road ahead.
