Odisha's exports could climb to as much as $50 billion by FY 2029-30, according to a study by the Export-Import Bank of India. The report points to strong potential for the state to expand its presence in overseas markets over the next several years.
The study suggests that metal and mineral products are likely to be the main engines of this growth. That aligns with Odisha's established industrial base and resource strength, which give the state a significant role in export-oriented sectors linked to heavy industry and raw materials.
A rise to the projected level would mark a major increase in Odisha's trade footprint and could strengthen its contribution to India's broader export ambitions. The forecast highlights how state-level manufacturing and commodity advantages may support higher outbound shipments if growth momentum is sustained.
While the report outlines the scale of the opportunity, the headline takeaway is that Odisha has room to sharply increase exports by the end of the decade. Much of that potential, the study indicates, will depend on continued expansion in metal and mineral product shipments.
