Following is an excerpt from a report in Pioneer.

Orissa’s per capita investment under implementation in December 2007 stood at Rs 78,569 crore which was more than three times of the national average of Rs 22,842. This was reported in the latest report of the Centre for Monitoring of the Indian Economy (CMIE), which is considered as the country’s leading source for development-related information and statistics.

… Domestic as well as foreign investors have several large-scale investments on implementation in Orissa across the mineral, tourism, energy, infrastructures and IT sectors. The investment so far has started yielding positive results for the State in terms of direct and indirect employment and increased revenue.

The following table is from a column in Indian Express. (See also http://www.orissalinks.com/orissagrowth/?p=640 for the data in June 2007 and its comparison with June 2002.)
