Odisha government has approved a proposal of Jindal Stainless Ltd (JSL) for setting up a private industrial estate near Kalinga Nagar in Jajpur district.
A high-level meeting chaired by Chief Secretary A P Padhi gave a go-ahead to the proposal on Wednesday.
Padhi asked the concerned authorities to complete the work in the first phase within three years from the date of land allotment.
The industrial estate will be developed in two phases.
