The ASSOCHAM–Odisha State Development Council, in collaboration with Primus Partners, has released a comprehensive report titled "AI-Driven Manufacturing: Innovation, Efficiency & Sustainable Growth." The report explores the transformative potential of Artificial Intelligence in enhancing productivity, operational efficiency, and sustainability across key sectors such as steel, mining, green energy, logistics, and infrastructure.

It provides insights into global and Indian trends, actionable use cases, ESG integration, policy frameworks, and Odisha-specific initiatives—particularly in the context of the recently launched Odisha AI Policy 2025.

The report also emphasizes the importance of public-private collaboration, skill development, and ethical AI governance in driving responsible AI adoption.
