Bhubaneswar is now India’s fastest-growing EV market!

The city recorded an impressive 84% YoY growth.

However, it also means more vehicles on the road. Since EVs - especially four-wheelers - are still largely a second vehicle for many households rather than a replacement, overall traffic is likely to increase.

This reinforces the need to invest in high-quality public transport alongside EV adoption.

6:30 AM. It’s raining, yet CRUT buses are running full.

This is the impact of reliable public transport. CRUT has become a lifeline for lakhs of commuters.

Dedicated bus lanes and a metro system in Cuttack-Bhunaneswar can make it even faster, more efficient, and convenient.

From Odisha to London.

Chillika Restaurant in UK, founded by Odia entrepreneurs Subhakanta Das and Partha Sarathi Panda, has been ranked among the top 10 eateries in its area.

They serve Dahibara Aloo Dum too :) Check the 2nd image.

Named after Odisha’s iconic Chilika Lake, the restaurant is taking the flavours of Odisha and India to a global audience while giving people far from home a taste of their roots.

A brand created by an Odia.

Starting with just Rs 20k and growing to ₹300 crore revenue business is no small achievement.

An egg farm in one of the remotest parts of Odisha, around 330 km away from Bhubaneswar, has exported first-ever consignment of dried whole egg powder to Austria(Europe).

This proves that geography is no barrier to success.

Beyond this export milestone, Ovo Farms produces over 1 million eggs every day through a fully automated system. Very few companies in India have access to such advanced technology.

With Koraput emerging as a major tourist hotspot and attracting big-budget film productions, premium hospitality infra was the need of the hour.

A significant addition for tourism and the local economy.

Odisha’s commitment to sports continues.

> A ₹1,000 crore sports complex to come up at Gothapatana, Bhubaneswar

> ₹4,000 crore investment for modern multi-purpose stadiums across blocks

A strong sporting culture needs strong infra, and Odisha continues to invest in both.
