Odisha will showcase its investment potential in the chemical and petrochemical sectors at the three-day India Chem 2026 summit, scheduled to begin in Mumbai on Thursday.
Chief minister Mohan Charan Majhi left for Mumbai on Wednesday to attend the summit. The visit will focus on attracting fresh investments and strengthening Odisha’s position as an emerging industrial destination in the chemical and petrochemical sectors.
“The State’s participation will highlight its industrial strengths, investment-ready infrastructure, progressive policies and growing ecosystem for chemical and petrochemical manufacturing,” a news release issued by the chief minister's office (CMO) said.
During his visit, Majhi is scheduled to hold one-on-one meetings with leading representatives of chemical and petrochemical industries from over 20 major companies. These interactions will focus on potential investments, industrial expansion, downstream manufacturing and opportunities to establish new industrial ventures in Odisha.
A key highlight of Odisha’s participation will be a presentation on the coal gasification project. Odisha will participate alongside Rajasthan, Andhra Pradesh, Gujarat and Tamil Nadu, reflecting the growing importance of states in shaping India’s chemical and petrochemical manufacturing landscape.
