As part of efforts to strengthen port-led development, the delegation will visit Mundra Port on May 6 to explore opportunities in logistics and port-based industries. On May 7, an investors’ meet will be held in Vadodara, followed by a visit to Kevadia to further deepen industrial linkages.

Ahead of the visit, Majhi said Odisha’s robust infrastructure and skilled workforce have positioned it as an attractive investment hub. He expressed confidence that the Gujarat tour would open new avenues for investment, generate employment, and contribute significantly to the state’s vision of becoming a prosperous economy by 2036.
