Odisha just gave the green light to 20 new industrial projects, bringing in a massive ₹76,611.86 crore investment and promising 50,517 jobs across nine districts.
The timing is pretty interesting: this news dropped right before President Murmu and Prime Minister Modi visit for BJP's two-year celebration.
Chief Minister Majhi says it's all thanks to Odisha's push for progressive policies and more diverse industries.
