Economic development through industrialisation is the fruit of a concerted synergy of several initiatives; namely, a stable political leadership, investor friendly government policies, proactive institutional support and above all a positive attitude within every person involved in the process of facilitating industrial activity in the state.

The Government has taken proactive measures to attract investments by creating the concept of “Team Orissa” that encompasses the broad institutional framework of the Government which is engaged in industrial facilitation and investment promotion in all key areas of economic growth.

The Chief Minister is the Captain of Team Orissa and the principal goal of the “Team” is to provide necessary synergies and convergence of all Government efforts to ensure Orissa's position at the vanguard of economic and social prosperity. The combination of two words “Team” & “Orissa” embodies the spirit behind every effort that is made towards furthering investment climate and promoting entrepreneurship in the state.

The Orissa Industries (Facilitation) Act 2004 has been enacted to provide single window clearances so as to reduce transaction costs and times for investors. The High Level Authority chaired by the Chief Minister and State Level Authority chaired by Chief Secretary have been constituted to consider investment proposals and accord clearances. Industrial Promotion and Investment Corporation of Orissa Limited (IPICOL) and Orissa Industrial Infrastructure Development Corporation (IDCO) have been entrusted with multi-faceted roles of investor support. At the District level, the General Managers of District Industries Centres (DIC) have similar roles.
