Odisha, known for its mineral wealth, has emerged as a key investment destination for metal based industries. The State leads in iron, steel, and aluminium production, which are essential raw materials for manufacturing of defence components.
Mega projects such as Kalinganagar National Investment and Manufacturing Zone, PCPIR, Paradip, ESDM Park at Bhubaneswar, and more, have created an investment climate conducive for the growth of the defence sector as well as provided forward and backward linkages for raw materials for defence manufacturing.
