Orissa POST
|January 04, 2026
India saw new investment announcements worth Rs 26.62 lakh crore in the first nine months of FY26, with Odisha bringing 13.1 per cent of such intents taking the second spot after Andhra Pradesh (25.3 per cent), according to a new report Saturday.
The latest figure is significantly higher than Rs 23.88 lakh crore worth investment announcements witnessed in the same period last year, according to a new report.
This is on the back of a very positive policy package of the government which has focused on capex, lowering of income tax rates and GST 2.0, it added.
Infrastructure-led sectors dominated investment intentions, with the top five sectors accounting for nearly 80 per cent of total announcements.
