Chief Minister of Odisha, Naveen Patnaik, laid the foundation stone for two green fuel projects by Acme Cleantech Solutions and Avaada Green H2 at Gopalpur Industrial Park.
Acme Cleantech Solutions is setting up a 1.10 mmtpa green ammonia plant with an investment of INR 27,000 crore. The project is projected to create employment for about 4,000 people. Avaada Green H2, with its INR 8,000 crore investment, is setting up a 0.5 mtpa green hydrogen/ammonia facility. This facility is estimated to provide job opportunities for 1,500 individuals.
The chief minister highlighted that these projects will bolster the local employment and skills ecosystem in the state. He said, “While the projects by ACME and Avaada will make Odisha the pioneer state in the green fuels sector, more importantly, these new-age sectors are going to be highly beneficial for the youth of this region. The industrial training institutes (ITIs) in Berhampur, Hinjilicut, Sheragada, Purusottampur, and others in this region will be put to use for upskilling and imparting new age skills to young boys and girls of Ganjam and nearby areas. Similarly, high-tech and professional institutions are going to benefit immensely due to the presence of such renowned companies.”
The chief minister said, “The setting up of industries in new-age and future-oriented sectors like green fuels is going to catalyze the growth of MSMEs in this region. The MSMEs with get newer opportunities to become vendors and participate in the supply chain networks of these companies. This will open up numerous new avenues of growth for budding entrepreneurs in Ganjam and South Odisha.”
