Adani Group Commits Rs 33,081 Crore to Odisha with Three Major Infrastructure Projects

Karan Adani, Managing Director of Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone, detailed the initiatives at the ground breaking and inauguration ceremony of 36 industrial projects in Khordha. The expansion reflected a long-term commitment to the state's goal of becoming a USD 1.5 trillion economy by 2047.

Across these three projects, the total commitment to Odisha stands at Rs 33,081 crore, creating a total of 9,700 jobs, direct and indirect.

Speaking at the event, Adani noted that the foundation for growth existed in Odisha's mineral wealth, coastline, and young workforce. He emphasized that the current government acted as a partner in this development rather than a gatekeeper.

The first project involves a data center at Info Valley, Bhubaneswar with an investment of Rs 800 crore. This facility is aimed at providing the infrastructure required for AI, cloud computing, and digital governance. Adani stated that the project would create 200 high-end jobs, both directly and indirectly.

The announcement of these projects underscores a deepening industrial push in Odisha, reinforcing its position as an emerging hub for digital infrastructure, energy security, and manufacturing, while advancing its ambition of becoming a USD 1.5 trillion economy by 2047.
