Singapore President Tharman Shanmugaratnam, during his visit to Odisha, underscored the state’s potential for growth and development by emphasizing the significance of focusing on ‘enablers,’ such as vaccine manufacturers like Bharat Biotech, which are essential for driving progress.

While addressing the media at the Bharat Biotech facility in Odisha, the President remarked that the state is strategically positioned to establish large-scale industrial parks in sectors such as petrochemicals, while also identifying opportunities for smaller industrial parks. He highlighted the necessity of developing capabilities and establishing a proven track record to facilitate scaling up, expressing optimism about Odisha’s ability to achieve these goals.

“Odisha is on the brink of a new phase of development, which begins with addressing the enablers. These enablers include capabilities and skills, and attracting significant companies like Bharat Biotech, which I had the opportunity to visit, represents a remarkable advancement,” he stated.

“In certain sectors, such as petrochemicals, Odisha is already positioned advantageously to initiate a large-scale industrial park. In other manufacturing domains, there may be potential for smaller industrial parks; however, it is essential to simultaneously cultivate the necessary enablers. It is imperative to enhance capabilities and establish a proven track record that facilitates scaling up, and I am optimistic that Odisha is capable of achieving this,” he remarked.
