Odisha IDCO Allots Land to 37 Industrial Units
Odisha’s industrial development agency has given land to 37 industrial projects.
Twenty-four of these are major projects, while 13 are intended to support smaller businesses.
A committee led by Usha Padhee approved the land allotments.
Officials expect the projects to create jobs for local people.
They also hope the projects will help businesses work together in regional supply chains.
Padhee visited several industrial areas to see whether they had enough roads, electricity and water.
She also checked plans for freight transport and other public facilities.
Special attention is being given to safe and accessible workplaces, including for women workers.
These checks are meant to solve infrastructure problems before the projects begin operating.

The allotments include 24 major projects and 13 proposals supporting micro, small and medium enterprises.
The IDCO Land Allotment Committee approved the proposals under chairperson Usha Padhee.
