Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Friday inaugurated a new sulphuric acid plant at the premises of Indian Farmers Fertiliser Cooperative Limited inParadip, underlining the Centre’s focus on strengthening industrial growth and rural development in Odisha.
The plant has been set up at an estimated cost of ₹750 crore. The inauguration programme was attended by Mohan Charan Majhi,Dharmendra Pradhan, several state ministers, and the Member of Parliament from Jagatsinghpur.
Officials said the newly inaugurated facility will have the capacity to produce 2,000 tonnes of sulphuric acid per day. The plant is expected to significantly boost industrial production while improving environmental efficiency.
Authorities stated that the project could help reduce pollution levels by nearly 50 percent and decrease dependence on coal by around 500 million metric tonnes. It will also reduce the need to import nearly six lakh metric tonnes of sulphuric acid, leading to substantial savings in foreign exchange.
Addressing the gathering, Amit Shah said Odisha is progressing steadily under the current government and expressed confidence that the state will witness development similar to Gujarat in the coming years. He added that with the support of the people, the government is working to accelerate development and improve rural livelihoods.
Shah also highlighted the success of India’s dairy cooperative model led by Amul, noting that around 36 lakh rural women have contributed to building the movement. He said similar initiatives could further strengthen rural livelihoods in Odisha.
Describing IFFCO as a matter of national pride, Shah said it is the world’s largest cooperative organisation, owned by nearly five crore farmers and playing a vital role in supporting India’s agricultural sector.
