"As L&T has an eminent presence in Odisha, the company may explore an option to set-up units in aerospace and defence manufacturing and green hydrogen sectors," Mr. Patnaik told CEO Subrahmanyan.
Odisha Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik has suggested Larsen and Toubro (L&T) to set-up units in aerospace and defence manufacturing and green hydrogen sectors in the State.
Mr. Patnaik made several suggestions when L&T’s CEO and MD S. N. Subrahmanyan called him here on October 28.
"As L&T has an eminent presence in Odisha, the company may explore an option to set-up units in aerospace and defence manufacturing and green hydrogen sectors," Mr. Patnaik told Subrahmanyan.
The Chief Minister also told the L&T CEO that it may explore opportunities to develop common industrial facilities such as water- and effluent treatment plant for upcoming industrial hubs such as Paradip, Gopalpur and Dhamra.
In the minerals and metals sector, Mr. Patnaik said the metallurgical and material handling arm of L&T can also set up office in Bhubaneswar.
"Odisha is home to all major minerals and metals, and hence L&T can explore setting up an office in the State," he said.
In 2021, five women from Mayithara, four of them MGNREGA (Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act) workers, found a common ground in their desire to create a sustainable livelihood by growing vegetables. Rajamma M., Mary Varkey, Valsala L., Elisho S., and Praseeda Sumesh, aged between 70 and 39, pooled their savings, rented a piece of land and began their collective vegetable farming journey under the Deepam Krishi group.
