Odisha is a state in India that has been making electricity in older ways for a long time.

Now, the state's leaders want to make electricity in cleaner ways that are better for the environment.

They want Odisha to become an important place for clean power, green fuels, and factories that cause less pollution.

The Deputy Chief Minister, K V Singh Deo, shared this plan at a big event about power and electrical equipment.

The event was held in Bhubaneswar, the capital city, and lasted two days.

Odisha wants to build more than 10 gigawatts of energy from renewable sources by 2030.

Renewable energy comes from things like sunlight, wind, and water, which do not run out.

Odisha has a long coastline, ports, and valuable minerals that can help make this happen.

The leaders invited companies and investors from all over the world to join the effort.

They promised to keep the rules stable and support anyone who wants to invest in the state.
