Where Other Industrial Projects Are Being Built Across India
The Odisha approvals arrive as Other Industrial Projects tracked across India number 2,674 in total, with 19 added to the database in the last 90 days alone. The geographic concentration of tracked projects in this sub-sector points clearly to where industrial activity is densest.
- Uttar Pradesh: 324 projects tracked
- Karnataka: 313 projects tracked
- Maharashtra: 306 projects tracked
- Gujarat: 281 projects tracked
- Andhra Pradesh: 266 projects tracked
- Madhya Pradesh: 145 projects tracked
Odisha does not feature among the top six states by volume in this sub-sector in current tracking data, making a single-round approval of 23 projects a meaningful addition to the state's industrial project pipeline.
Stage Breakdown: Where Projects Stand Nationally
For suppliers and contractors assessing the national pipeline in Other Industrial Projects, the stage distribution of the 2,674 tracked projects reveals where opportunities are ripening. The largest share — 1,186 projects — remain at the Planning stage, representing the early-intelligence pool. A further 569 are Under Approvals, meaning procurement conversations can begin. The 418 projects at Construction Started stage represent live, active site-level demand. Sixty-six projects have Approvals Received but construction is yet to begin, while 54 are on Hold.
Recent projects entering Construction Started status nationally include Lava International's Rs 1,100 crore electronics component manufacturing expansion at Noida, CANPACK India's Rs 1,300 crore greenfield aluminium beverage can plant at Unnao, and Avaada Electro's solar manufacturing unit at Greater Noida. At the Approvals Received stage, Sarla Aviation's Rs 1,300 crore eVTOL manufacturing unit at Anantapur, Andhra Pradesh is among the projects moving toward construction. The full tracked projects database covers all stages and geographies.
What this means for suppliers and contractors
The batch approval of 23 projects worth Rs 4,510 crore by the Odisha government signals a structured push to advance multiple investments simultaneously, which typically compresses the window between approval and tender issuance. Suppliers of industrial plant, equipment, civil construction services and utilities should monitor Odisha closely as individual project identities, locations and procurement timelines become public.
At the national level, the stage breakdown for Other Industrial Projects underlines where near-term work is accessible. The 418 projects already at Construction Started stage represent active procurement demand, while the 569 projects Under Approvals are the most actionable early-stage opportunities — approvals can move quickly to tender in the industrial sub-sector. Odisha's newly approved basket, once individual projects are notified, will likely enter this Under Approvals or Approvals Received pool. There are currently no open tenders listed under Industrial Projects on the platform, but that position can change as state-level notifications follow batch approvals of this kind.
Contractors with existing Odisha relationships or registered vendor status with state agencies are best positioned to act quickly once project-level details are published. Equipment suppliers serving the industrial manufacturing segment should also track the Odisha pipeline alongside the larger volumes visible in Uttar Pradesh, Karnataka and Maharashtra, where the concentration of tracked projects remains highest nationally. Further detail on comparable industrial investments is available in recent coverage of projects such as the Rs 2,300 crore e-methanol plant at Gandhidham.
