The Sajjan Jindal-led JSW Group has proposed electric vehicle (EV) manufacturing industrial projects in Odisha with an investment potential of Rs 40,000 crore and could create employment opportunities for 11,000 people.

The state Cabinet, led by Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik, has approved a special incentive package in terms of land, electricity, water and capital subsidy.

“The JSW Group has proposed to set-up an EV and EV battery manufacturing unit at Naraj in Cuttack district. The one-of-a-kind advanced technology-based battery manufacturing project with capacity of 50 GWH will be the world’s largest single location project in the sector,” said chief secretary P K Jena.

Jena said the company is also planning to set up an original equipment manufacturing plant for EVs and components in the Naraj facility in two phases. In these two phases, JSW is planning to invest Rs 25,000 crore in the state, generating employment for more than 4,000 people.
