The facility, which manufactures for global brands including Uniqlo, focuses on exports to markets in Europe and Japan. It is positioned as India’s first fully net-zero carbon and net-zero water garment manufacturing campus and holds significant employment potential of over 7,000 jobs, with a large proportion expected to be women, promoting inclusive growth. This unit has placed Odisha on the global fashion map, an official release said.
Later, CM Majhi visited the Mundamba Industrial Park facility of Anadrone Systems Private Limited, a key player in strategic defence manufacturing. The company has invested Rs 96.86 crore and is expected to generate 165 jobs.

At both units, CM Majhi held detailed interactions with the promoters and employees. He highlighted Odisha’s business-friendly policies, robust infrastructure, and execution-focused ecosystem, reiterating the government’s commitment to fostering diverse, high-value industries ranging from employment-intensive apparel manufacturing to high-tech defence production.
