An official announced that Kalyani Steel Limited has proposed to invest ₹26,000 crore to establish an integrated advanced specialty steel and automotive component manufacturing complex in Gajamara in the Dhenkanal district of Odisha, as well as to manufacture titanium metal and aerospace components.
As the first aerospace and defense manufacturing complex in Odisha, the state cabinet authorised a special incentive for the facility, Chief Secretary P K Jena mentioned. He said the state government is committed to foster a conducive environment for growth and innovation, particularly in the high-potential sectors of aerospace, defence and automotive manufacturing.
The projects, with a combined investment of over ₹26,000 crore and employment potential of over 12,000, are set to usher in a new era of industrial growth and job creation in the state, Jena said. Further vendor development will lead to significant employment opportunities in the subsequent years.
