Odisha seems to have a huge component of Bharatmala roads. (But that is not really the case, as the GQ and NSEW corridors are not really access-controlled expressways.) See the next message in this thread) See the map below.

The roads in Odisha that are part of Bharatmala are:

1. GQ National Corridor (Kolkata-Chennai)
   
2. Three economic corridors (EC1 Kolkata-Mumbai, EC28 & EC31 Paradeep-Sambalpur-Rourkela-Ranchi, EC15 Vizag-Raipur)
   
3. Three inter corridors  (Khurda-Angul, Khurda-Baragarh, Chandikhole-Keonjhar, Balasore-Baripada-Bangiriposi)
   
4. Coastal highway (Gopalpur-Digha)
   

• Ring roads for Bhubaneswar and Sambalpur 
  
• Logistics hub at Jagatsinghpur

Quote:The CCEA also approved expansion of Paradeep port in Odisha at an initial cost of ₹ ₹3005 crore to enable it to handle large cargo ships under Public-Private Partnership (PPP) mode. This includes development of the new Western Dock and capital dredging by the selected Concessionaire at a cost of Rs.2,040 crore and Rs.352.1 crore respectively; and investment by Paradip Port to the tune of Rs.612.5 Crore towards providing Common Supporting Project Infrastructure.

“On commissioning of the project, it shall cater to the requirement of coal & limestone imports besides export of granulated slag & finished steel products considering the large number of steel plants established in the hinterland of Paradip Port. The project shall also facilitate (i) de-congestion of the Port, (ii) reduce Sea freight making coal imports cheaper, and (iii) boost the industrial economy in the hinterland of the port leading to creation of job opportunities," the Cabinet Secretariat said in a statement.
