Rushab Ship International is in talks with the Odisha government to introduce a passenger-cum-cargo cruise from Puri to Kolkatta in next three to six months with an investment of Rs 100 crore.
Addressing on the second day of the Invest Bhubaneswar, Rashmikant Kamdar, president, Rushab Ship International said, "We are having one or two vessels for this purpose. We are in talks with the state government and expect to finalise the deal soon."
The cruise can be used for multipurpose for ferrying passengers and cargo. There will be entertainment facility also for the passenger, he said.
Kamdar said that we are also planning to have ship breaking place in Odisha. Odia labourers are working as ship breakers in Alang in Gujarat. "They can be employed in the ship breaking place in Odisha", he said.
Another investor and technology visionary Prabhu Goel said that there is lot of opportunity for the renewable energy like solar energy in Odisha as well as in India. There is an opportunity to start one MW power projects. But, the growth of the solar energy will be low because of less margins. The low margins will deter the bankers and the investors to invest in these projects.Speaking on this occasion, Saurabh Garg, secretary, H&UD (Infrastructure), Odisha government said that the Corporate India wants a good professional work force in Odisha. There are four higher learning centres in Odisha. "There are adequate opportunities in the IT sector", he said.
He said that Bhubaneswar can be an investment centre as the state capital has qualitative entertainment centres, multiplexes, connectivity and various modes of transports. "The land will be made available to the real estate to build the houses", he said.
Garg said that currently 14% of the Odisha’s population is living in the Urban areas which can be increased to more than 20% in 2011. Opportunities for the urbanization are very high.
Among others, N Damodar Reddy, technology visionary and investor and Bijoy Kumar Patnaik, chief secretary, Odisha government also spoke on this occasion.
