Beyond logistical and operational considerations, strategic factors are likely to have weighed on decision-makers," an analyst tracking the sector said. The Odisha site, he added, lies well away from India's western and northern borders, reducing exposure to potential cross-border missile or drone threats. It also falls outside the country's highest seismic risk zone
