Prime Minister Narendra Modi unveiled a series of transformative projects in Odisha, collectively valued at over Rs 19,600 crore, during his visit to Chandikhole. These projects, spanning various sectors including oil and gas, railways, road infrastructure, transportation, highways, and atomic energy, mark a significant investment in the state’s development. Key among the inaugurated projects is a 344 km long product pipeline connecting Paradip in Odisha to Haldia in West Bengal. Additionally, the Prime Minister inaugurated the Indian Oil Corporation’s Mono Ethylene Glycol project at the Paradip Refinery, along with a 0.6 MMTPA LPG import facility at Paradip. These initiatives are poised to revolutionize the polyester industry in eastern India, providing crucial raw materials to textile parks in Bhadrak and Paradip.
In his address, PM Modi reiterated the government’s unwavering commitment to fulfilling the nation’s current needs while emphasizing the vision of a developed country (Viksit Bharat). He underscored efforts to enhance the energy sector’s capabilities in eastern states, citing the Urja Ganga Yojana as a significant initiative aimed at supplying natural gas to five major states, including Odisha. Highlighting the importance of harnessing eastern India’s abundant natural resources for Odisha’s progress, PM Modi mentioned the inauguration of a desalination plant in Ganjam district. This plant is designed to treat nearly 50 lakh litres of saline water daily, making it suitable for drinking purposes and addressing the region’s water scarcity issues.
Moreover, the Prime Minister emphasized the government’s focus on modernizing connectivity infrastructure in Odisha to drive economic growth through local resources. Significant advancements in national highways and railway networks were cited, aimed at enhancing rail-highway-port connectivity and facilitating industrial growth. The Angul Sukinda railway line, for instance, will play a crucial role in the development of the Kalinga Nagar Industrial area. PM Modi reiterated the government’s commitment to reducing India’s import dependency, highlighting projects like the Mono Ethylene Glycol project and the LPG import facility at Paradip. He also praised the inauguration of the seawater desalination plant, emphasizing its importance in ensuring access to potable water in the region. Overall, the inauguration of these projects signifies a significant step towards Odisha’s socio-economic advancement and reaffirms the government’s dedication to fostering growth and development across the country.
