The
industrial resources of Orissa
are considerable. |
| Orissa
leads all states of India in the
production of chromite,
manganese ore, and dolomite. It
is also one of the leading
producers of high-quality iron
ore. Coal from the
important Talcher field in the
interior district of Dhenkanal
provides the energy base for the
state's smelting and fertilizer
production. The steel,
nonferrous smelting, and
fertilizer industries are
concentrated in the inland
portions of the state, while
most of the foundries, rail
shops, glass works, and paper
mills are located around Cuttack
near the Mahanadi delta.Tying
the two industrial regions
together is the great Mahanadi
River system, which has been
harnessed by one of the most
ambitious multiple purpose
projects on the subcontinent: the
Hirakud Dam and the Machkund
hydroelectric project, together
with several smaller units,
provide flood control,
irrigation, and power to the
entire lower basin.Large-scale
industries, mostly based on
minerals,include a steel plant
and fertilizer plant at Raurkela,
ferromanganese plants at Joda
and Rayagarha,
refractor-producing factories at
Raj Gangpur and Belpahar, a
refrigerator manufacturing plant
at Choudwar, and a cement
factory at Raj Gangpur. There
are some large-scale sugar and
paper mills at Rayagarha and
Choudwar; other industries
include textiles, glass,
aluminum ingots and cables, and
heavy machine tools.Today,
Information Technology is the
fastest growing sector, not only
in India, but all over the
world. Recognising this trend,
the Government of Orissa have
come up with a dynamic IT Policy
to make the state the most
favoured destination for IT
industries.Commensurate with the
IT policy of the state
government, several projects
have been taken up by IDCO to
promote IT related ventures and
services, particularly at
Bhubaneswar which will be made a
unique IT City within the next
few years.IDCO has a range of
options available for setting up
IT industries: |
