The proposals were approved at the State Level Single Window Clearance Authority (SLSWCA) meeting chaired by Chief Secretary A P Padhi. The investment proposals are for different sectors like downstream industries in metals, logistics and tourism.
While according in-principle approval to the projects, Padhi asked concerned departments to make a realistic assessment of the requirement of land and water for the proposed industrial units.
The SLSWCA accorded approval to two projects in the downstream metals sector. The first proposal was made by a Delhi-based company to set up a manufacturing unit for steel tubes and pipes with capacity of 1,80,000 tonnes per annum (TPA) at an investment of Rs 130 crore, at Kalinganagar Industrial Complex, Jajpur.
The proposed project will create direct and indirect employment for 600 people.
