Hon’ble Chief Minister Shri @MohanMOdisha inaugurates the new plants of Jindal Stainless Limited and Indian Metals & Ferro Alloys Ltd. (IMFA) at Kalinganagar, Jajpur, marking a major milestone in Odisha’s industrial transformation and reinforcing the state’s emergence as a leading hub of manufacturing, investment and employment under the vision of a prosperous Odisha.

Hon’ble Chief Minister of Odisha, Shri Mohan Charan Majhi, inaugurated IMFA's greenfield project in Kalinganagar today. Also present on the occasion were Shri Pradeep Bal Samanta, Hon’ble Minister, Co-operation, Handlooms, Textiles & Handicrafts; Shri Sampad Chandra Swain, Hon’ble Minister, Industries, Skill Development & Technical Education; and Dr Rabindra Narayan Behera, Hon’ble Member of Parliament, Jajpur. Operationalised in just 15 months from groundbreaking, the project marks a major step forward in IMFA’s expansion, taking its total ferro chrome production capacity beyond 0.5 million tonnes per annum and establishing it as India’s largest ferro chrome producer. With around 4000 jobs created across the Kalinganagar Complex, the expansion also reflects IMFA's commitment to energy-efficient, environmentally responsible manufacturing while contributing to Odisha’s industrial development. This milestone is a reflection of the dedication of our teams and the support of all our stakeholders as we continue to strengthen India's industrial resilience and global competitiveness. @MohanMOdisha | @CMO_Odisha | @pradeepbsbjp | @SampadSwainBJP | @MPjajpur2024 | @InvestInOdisha | @subhrakantpanda #NewPlantInauguration #Kalinganagar #FerroChrome #Odisha #MakeInIndia #IMFA

At IMFA, we believe progress must go hand in hand with responsibility — towards our people, our communities and the environment we share.

The launch of ‘Make in India’ 12 years ago was a defining moment which marked a structural shift for the manufacturing sector. Policy initiatives aimed at improving competitiveness and enhancing resilience have made India an attractive investment destination and an island of calm in a global maelstrom. Strengthening the domestic manufacturing backbone - especially across critical minerals, metals, and infrastructure - and deeper integration with global supply chains is essential for achieving the goal of Viksit Bharat. The next phase of growth calls for technology adoption, sustainable operations, and strategic global collaborations. @IMFALtd | @ficci_india #MakeInIndia #Manufacturing #ValueAddition #GrowthStory

Sunday, September 20th wasn’t a day when our team relaxed!!! I am delighted that with the load being steadily increased in the first furnace at KNR 1 (greenfield project) and stable operations elsewhere, total daily ferro chrome production has crossed 1000 tonnes for the first time. It will, of course, further increase when we commission the second furnace next month. @IMFALtd #FerroChrome #Expansion #Leader #Milestone

Delighted with the first tapping of hot metal today from the first furnace at @IMFALtd’s greenfield project in Kalinganagar (KNR 1). The load will be gradually increased over the next few days, and we expect meaningful quantum of ferro chrome production from September onwards. Congratulations to the team lead by Sureshbabu Chigurupalli and P V Kishore Kumar, and everyone else who has contributed to the project.

I attended FIBAC 2026 last week which was addressed by the RBI Governor Mr Sanjay Malhotra amongst others. Sharing his views on the evolving landscape and in response to my question, Mr Malhotra spoke about the potential for deeper financial cooperation among BRICS nations, particularly around cross-border payments, local currency settlements, digital public infrastructure and CBDCs, especially as India chairs BRICS this year. Jointly organised by FICCI and IBA annually, FIBAC is the premier event which brings together the regulator, banks, financial intermediaries and corporates. @GovSMalhotra | @RBI | @ficci_india | @ChiefIba | @IBA_org_in #FIBAC2026 #BRICS
