In the run-up to the Make in Odisha Conclave 2018, the Government of Odisha would organise an investment road show in Mumbai in association with its industry partner Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FICCI) on August 8.

A State delegation would include Industries Minister Ananta Das, Chief Secretary Aditya Prasad Padhi, Development Commissioner R Balakrishnan and Industries Secretary Sanjeev Chopra who would meet investors from August 7 to 9.

Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik would hold one-to-one meetings with many industry captains.

Sanjeev Chopra said, “We are pleased to receive an encouraging response from the business community of Mumbai. Odisha’s investor-friendly policies and the development of world-class infrastructure have received very positive feedback from investors across the country as we have been able to create an ideal business ecosystem for various sectors to flourish in the State. We have seen a significant rise in attracting manufacturing projects with more than 118 large projects approved with employment potential of 1,28,572 in the past 4 years alone in the State. The average time taken for approval of the projects is also reduced to 20 days from the date of receipt of completed project application. We are positive about attracting significant investments from Mumbai-based companies in the near future.”
