“Odisha is destined to become a trillion-dollar economy in near future. The state will emerge as the gateway to East and South East Asia,” the CM said. ArcellorMittal chairman L N Mittal, Vedanta Group chairman Anil Agrawal, JSW chairman Sajjan Jinda, Jindal Steel & Power Limited chairman Naveen Jindal, JSL chairman Ratan Jindal and Tata Steel managing director T V Narendran, FICCI president Subhrakant Panda were among country’s top 54 industry leaders present at the plenary session.

“It was the first day of the four-day MIO Conclave. We have three more days left and we are expecting more investment proposals. This is a good sign. Investors are choosing Odisha as their most favoured destination for its industry-friendly policy, political stability, skilled manpower and good governance,” said Mr Sharma.

“We offer better than the best to investors. Our new Industrial Policy which was unveiled today provides the support and incentives which are beyond the best in the country. We have launched new policies in the sectors of tourism, renewable energy, apparel and textile, food processing and exports,” said the industry secretary.
