The Odisha government has kicked off its two-day investment roadshow in Hyderabad with a spectacular haul, securing investment promises worth a staggering Rs 38,700 crore on the very first day. The event, which aims to forge deeper industry partnerships, also promises to generate employment for over 20,200 people in the state.
CM Majhi Leads High-Impact G2B Meetings
Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi personally led the charge, arriving in Hyderabad on Thursday to spearhead the state's outreach. The core of the first day's success was a series of 15 one-to-one Government-to-Business (G2B) meetings. These sessions involved senior leadership from leading companies across a spectrum of priority sectors identified by Odisha.
The sectors included pharmaceuticals, medical devices, green energy, textiles, food processing, engineering goods, automotive components, and capital equipment manufacturing. Prominent companies like Indorama Industries Ltd, Jindal Poly Films, ABI Showatech Pvt Ltd, and Maruti were part of these crucial discussions.
Breakdown of the Investment Windfall
The day's outcomes came through two primary channels. The direct G2B interactions themselves yielded investment intentions worth Rs 19,500 crore, with the potential to create 7,500 jobs. Complementing this, the state government formalized commitments by signing seven Memoranda of Understanding (MoUs).
These MoUs alone account for proposed investments of Rs 19,200 crore and are expected to generate 12,700 employment opportunities. Industries Minister Sampad Chandra Swain and senior officials were present during these engagements, underscoring the government's commitment.
Sectoral Focus: Pharmaceuticals in the Spotlight
A dedicated roundtable with pharmaceutical industry leaders was also convened, building on the momentum from the recent Odisha Pharma Summit-2025. Discussions centered on the state's newly notified Pharmaceutical Policy and the development of dedicated Pharmaceutical and Medical Devices Parks. This reflects a strategic push to strengthen Odisha's manufacturing ecosystem in this high-growth sector.
The government attributed the overwhelming response to the growing trust of investors in Odisha's progressive policy framework, robust infrastructure, and consistent improvements in ease of doing business.
CM's Vision for Sustainable Partnership
Commenting on the resounding success, Chief Minister Majhi stated that the response is a clear indicator of the industry's confidence in Odisha's industrial trajectory. "Our focus is on building long-term partnerships through policy clarity, responsive governance, and a future-ready ecosystem that enables innovation, job creation, and sustainable growth," he said.
He emphasized that the roadshow serves as a vital platform to align industry aspirations with the state's development priorities, ensuring that investment proposals materialize into timely and impactful projects. The CM will continue to lead the mega roadshow on its second day, engaging with more industry leaders, business associations, and institutional stakeholders.
