Odisha CM asks officials to ensure companies face no problem

With Odisha receiving investment proposals worth Rs 70,000 crore, Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik has asked the officials to ensure that companies face no problem in setting up units.
Patnaik gave this direction yesterday while reviewing the response Odisha drew at the Make In India Week in Mumbai. He said the officials need to ensure investors do not face any problems in getting forest and environment clearance and land acquisition as per the new industrial policy.
At least 14 companies have placed formal proposals to set up industries in the state in different sectors except minerals. A total of 26 companies had discussed with the state government proposals of more than Rs 70,000 crore investment.

The proposed investments are likely to come in food processing, hotel, metal, solar, information and technology, electonics, automobile sectors and waste disposal management linked to smart city scheme, a senior official said.
"We received proposals mostly in non-mineral sectors such as electronics manufacturing, solar power and textiles. This is a good sign for the state," Industry secretary Sanjeev Chopra said.
