Odisha’s state government has dispatched a 60‑member delegation to Japan in a bid to secure fresh investment for the eastern Indian state. The delegation, comprising senior officials and industry representatives, toured key business hubs and met with Japanese corporate leaders and investment agencies.

The delegation’s itinerary included meetings with representatives from the Japan External Trade Organization (JETRO) and several Japanese firms known for their presence in the Indian market. While the exact outcomes of the discussions remain pending, Odisha’s leadership highlighted the state’s strategic location, growing industrial base and supportive policies as attractive factors for foreign investors.
