In a major boost to Odisha’s industrial landscape, the state government has cleared eight large-scale projects worth a total of ₹1.51 lakh crore. Leading the list is Vedanta Group, which will invest ₹1.28 lakh crore to set up a three million tons per annum (MTPA) aluminium smelter and a 4,900 MW captive power plant in Dhenkanal district.
Approved by the High-Level Clearance Authority (HLCA) chaired by the Chief Minister, Vedanta’s ambitious project will strengthen Odisha’s position as a global hub for aluminium production.
Diversified Investments Across Districts and Sectors
In addition to Vedanta’s investment, the HLCA approved seven other industrial proposals across chemicals, steel, textiles, and downstream metals, spreading across six districts—Dhenkanal, Ganjam, Jajpur, Keonjhar, Khurda, and Sambalpur.
