Odisha's Game-Changing Ring Road: A Surge in Connectivity and Growth

Odisha's infrastructure received a significant boost as Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi expressed gratitude towards the Central government's decision to greenlight the Rs 8,307.74 crore Capital Region Ring Road project. The initiative aims to alleviate congestion in major urban areas, significantly impacting the state's economy.

This ambitious 6-lane, access-controlled highway promises to streamline logistics and open doors for economic growth in Odisha and the larger eastern region. With the alignment integrating major national and state highways, the project anticipates both direct and indirect employment generation across millions of person-days.

The project is designed to reduce traffic congestion on existing highways, providing seamless connectivity and enhancing multi-modal transport options. Key integration points, including economic and social nodes and logistics hubs, will facilitate efficient movement of goods and people, further propelling Odisha towards socio-economic development.
