Odisha has secured a massive ₹67,000-crore green energy partnership with the ACME Group and Japan’s IHI Corporation to build large-scale green ammonia and methanol ecosystems across Paradip and Gopalpur, transforming the state into a global hub for green steel production. Concurrently, agricultural exporters are aggressively lobbying to protect the existing Geographical Indication (GI) boundaries of Basmati rice against expansion into Madhya Pradesh to maintain its premium heritage value globally. This comes alongside the Centre’s highly cautious 2026-27 Open Market Sales Scheme (OMSS) for grain reserves, which omits volume pledges due to El Niño climate risks while tightening quality standards. Meanwhile, India’s logistics manufacturing achieved a historic victory as the DCM Shriram group successfully delivered the country’s first locally produced sea cargo container to Maersk, initiating a 1,000-unit commercial partnership engineered to systematically break China’s global container monopoly.
