On Saturday, showcasing Odisha’s potential for growth and development, Singapore President, Tharman Shanmugaratnam highlighted the importance of working on the “enablers,” such as vaccine manufacturers like Bharat Biotech, that would drive the state’s progress.
Addressing the media during his visit to the Bharat Biotech plant in Odisha, Singapore President noted that Odisha is well-placed to develop large-scale industrial parks in sectors like petrochemicals and mentioned that there could be opportunities for smaller-scale industrial parks.
He further emphasised the importance of developing capabilities and building a track record to enable scaling up, expressing confidence that Odisha can achieve this.
“Odisha is poised for a new stage in development and it starts with working on the enablers. The enablers are capabilities, skills, and bringing in a few large companies like Bharat Biotech, which I just visited, a very impressive new plant,” he said.
“In some areas, like petrochemicals, Odisha is already very well placed to embark on a large-scale industrial park. In some other areas of manufacturing, there may be opportunities for smaller-scale industrial parks, but it’s critical to develop the enablers at the same time. You have to develop the capabilities and the track record that enables you to scale up, and I’m confident Odisha can do that,” he added. (ANI)
