The chief minister highlighted Ganjam's emergence as a dynamic industrial destination, attributing it to robust infrastructure, a strategically located port, and a skilled workforce. The projects at Gopalpur Industrial Park include green hydrogen and ammonia production, solar cell and module manufacturing, and specialty chemicals production. These projects are expected to boost industrial growth and sustainability in the region.
