Odisha to showcase chemical, petrochemical investment potential at India Chem 2026
Digital Desk | Bhubaneswar, Oct 21 (IANS) Odisha Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi is scheduled to leave for Mumbai on Wednesday to attend India Chem 2026, India's flagship biennial event for the chemicals and petrochemicals industry, which begins on Thursday. According to an official statement, CM Majhi will participate in the inaugural session and the CEO Roundtable, which will be chaired by Union Minister of Chemicals and Fertilisers J.P. Nadda, during his two-day visit to Mumbai. It noted that Chief Minister's visit will focus on attracting fresh investments and strengthening Odisha's position as an emerging industrial destination in the chemical and petrochemical sectors. The State's participation will highlight its industrial strengths, investment-ready infrastructure, progressive policies and growing ecosystem for chemical and petrochemical manufacturing. The programme will provide an important platform for Odisha to engage directly with industry leaders, present new investment opportunities and explore partnerships for the next phase of industrial growth, the state government said in the statement. During the visit, Chief Minister Majhi is scheduled to hold one-to-one meetings with leading representatives of the chemical and petrochemical industries, with discussions planned with more than 20 major companies. These interactions will focus on potential investments, industrial expansion, downstream manufacturing and opportunities to establish new industrial ventures in Odisha. A key highlight of the state's participation will be a presentation on coal gasification project, an emerging area of industrial opportunity for Odisha. The state is also likely to announce the establishment of a dedicated, large-scale chemical industrial park as part of its efforts to strengthen the industrial ecosystem, promote value addition, and attract investments across the chemical, petrochemical, plastics, and packaging segments. Odisha will participate alongside Rajasthan, Andhra Pradesh, Gujarat and Tamil Nadu, reflecting the growing importance of states in shaping India's chemical and petrochemical manufacturing landscape. The event will provide Odisha with an opportunity to demonstrate its capabilities and strengthen engagement with domestic and international industry stakeholders. While states such as Maharashtra, Gujarat, and others have established themselves as major chemical and petrochemical hubs over several decades, Odisha is positioning itself as a leading investment destination in the chemical and petrochemical sector, leveraging its rich resource base, industrial infrastructure, and supportive policy framework. The state's established strengths in mining and metallurgy provide a strong foundation for expanding into downstream chemical and petrochemical industries, promoting value addition, and attracting investments in higher-value manufacturing. Speaking about state's participation at India Chem 2026, Hemant Sharma, Additional Chief Secretary of Industries department, said, Odisha has a strong industrial foundation, and we are now focused on expanding our presence in high-potential sectors such as chemicals and petrochemicals. Our participation at India Chem 2026 will provide an opportunity to engage directly with leading companies, present the state's investment opportunities and explore partnerships for future growth. With our industrial infrastructure, progressive policies and resource advantages, we are working to build a competitive ecosystem for chemical and petrochemical industries. The proposed dedicated large chemical industrial park and our focus on coal gasification will further strengthen this effort and open up new avenues for investment, value addition and employment generation, he added.

Asian Para Games: Pranav Desai wins bronze in mens 100m T64
Digital Desk | Nagoya, Oct 21 (IANS) Pranav Desai bagged a bronze medal in mens 100m T64 at the Para Asian Games in Nagoya on Wednesday with a time of 11.96 seconds. In the Hangzhou Para Asian Games, Pranav finished fourth with a time of 11.91 seconds in 2022. He has improved his finishing position by one place, despite a timing difference of 0.05 seconds. T64 sports category is for athletes with lower limbs competing with prostheses affected by limb deficiency and leg length difference. Pranav, hailing from Thane, Maharashtra, is a congenital right below-knee amputee. He has competed in para sports since 2017 and specialises in the T64 sprint events, the 100m and 200m. Through hard work, discipline and determination, Pranav keeps pushing his limits to represent India with pride. Earlier, India scripted another memorable finish in the para athletics competition at the Para Asian Games as Dilip Gavit Mahadu (T46 category) clinched the gold medal in the Mens 100m T47 and Mohammed Basil Morssinganakathi secured the silver. Gavit Mahadu (T46 category) clinched the gold medal with an impressive time of 10.69 seconds. Adding to Indias success, Basil (T47 category) secured the silver medal with a time of 10.72 seconds, setting a new Games Record in the event. The duo replicated their 1-2 finish from the Commonwealth Games 2026, where Dilip Gavit clinched the gold medal with a Games Record in the mens 100m T47, while Basil Morssinganakathi secured the silver medal to complete a dominant Indian one-two. The T46 and T47 classifications in para-athletics apply to standing athletes with upper-limb impairments, such as limb deficiency or amputation. T46 involves single-arm above- or below-elbow amputation or similar significant impairment, while T47 represents a more moderate upper-limb impairment allowing greater wrist and arm function, primarily affecting sprints and jumps.

Drishyam The Conclusion continues to score at the box office despite facing competition from new releases. Today, October 21, it is set to cross the Rs. 350 crores mark, a remarkable achievement for a thriller. Interestingly, the talented actor has delivered five major successes in the post-pandemic era, and all of them have either been remakes or belonged to established franchises. His first hit in the post-pandemic era was Drishyam 2 (2022). It opened at Rs. 15.38 crores, surprising the trade and industry, especially since the first part wasn't a huge theatrical success. However, Drishyam (2015) had attained cult status after a large number of viewers discovered it on television and digital platforms. This helped the sequel take a flying start. Drishyam 2 went on to collect a massive Rs. 240.54 crores in its lifetime. This was followed by Shaitaan (2024), a remake of the Gujarati supernatural thriller Vash (2023). Its gripping trailer had done the trick, helping the film open on a strong note. It ultimately collected Rs. 149.49 crores. A year later, Raid 2 (2025) benefited from the popularity of the first part and its catchy trailer. It was released on May 1, a major holiday in Maharashtra and Gujarat, and opened at Rs. 19.71 crores, exceeding expectations. The film eventually collected Rs. 178.08 crores. Earlier this year, Ajay Devgn's Dhamaal 4 (2026) also opened on an encouraging note. Although it didn't receive favourable reviews from critics, the aam junta accepted the film. As a result, it managed to collect Rs. 163.80 crores. And now, Drishyam The Conclusion has taken Ajay Devgn's box-office success to another level. The film has not only surpassed the lifetime collections of Drishyam 2 but has also emerged as his highest-grossing film ever. Meanwhile, several of his other films failed to make a mark at the ticket window. These include Runway 34 (2022), Maidaan (2024), Auron Mein Kahan Dum Tha (2024) and Son Of Sardaar 2 (2025), all of which flopped. He also delivered three average performers Bholaa (2023), Singham Again (2024) and De De Pyaar De 2 (2025). Interestingly, even these three films belonged to the remake or franchise category. The way forward Ajay Devgn's next release is also part of a franchise, arguably his most popular one Golmaal 5. Scheduled to release on January 8, 2027, the Rohit Shetty directorial is expected to be the first major box-office hit of the new year. However, his subsequent film, Ranger (tentative title), is an original project and has generated considerable buzz, thanks to its action genre, jungle setting and the presence of Sanjay Dutt and Tamannaah Bhatia. It could finally break the pattern and become Ajay Devgn's first original, standalone hit in the post-pandemic era. His other upcoming original films, Chauhaan and the supernatural thriller directed by Rohit Jugraj, also look promising and could help change this trend.

Diwali sweet sellers face heat over shelf life
New Delhi: How long will a peda stay fresh? For India's mithai makers, the question is becoming a business concern ahead of Diwali as tighter food safety rules in several states require the display of manufacturing and use-by dates even on loose sweets.Watchdog agencies in states such as Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand are among those that have made this mandatory. The directive aims to help consumers assess freshness as inspections have revealed that buyers were not always given clear information about when sweets were made or how long they remained suitable for consumption, the agencies said.Also Read: FSSAI issues notice to Zepto over alleged delivery of expired besanHowever, small and medium-sized manufacturers and sellers said that the frequent inspections and notices have made it difficult for them to operate during the festive season, when sales are at their highest. Determining shelf life for different varieties could mean hiring external agencies, adding to costs and workload during the industry's busiest season, said Firoz H Naqvi, president of the Federation of Sweets and Namkeen Manufacturers.135076403Eye on AdulterationProducts on shelves are replenished many times a day during the busy season, said Naqvi.The Uttar Pradesh Mithai Namkeen Bakery Association recently urged the state food safety department to adopt a what it described as a supportive approach during the festive season, allowing small and medium-sized traditional businesses adequate time, training and technical guidance to formalise such practices.Also Read: Nepal bans import, sales of Indian biscuit Priyagold over food safety violationsFor minor documentation, display, record-keeping or other correctable deficiencies, businesses may kindly be guided and given a reasonable opportunity to rectify them, instead of facing immediate disruption of production or disproportionate action, the grouping wrote to the Uttar Pradesh Food Safety and Drug Administration (FSDA) on October 11.Other states such as Maharashtra, Karnataka and Haryana have also stepped up vigilance against adulteration during festivals and other large gatherings, when demand for sweets, edible oils, dairy products and other food items typically rises.Maharashtra Food and Drug Administration (FDA) commissioner Tukaram Mundhe has been on a food safety, hygiene and anti-adulteration crusade that has led to widespread action with inspections of restaurants, hotels, cloud kitchens, dairies, quick-commerce dark stores and manufacturing units.The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) has asked states to increase surveillance to prevent the sale of adulterated and counterfeit food items during the festive season. It has also intensified scrutiny of packaged food products, issuing notices to major companies over alleged misleading health and nutritional claims, labelling discrepancies and non-compliance with food regulations.This comes as prices of key ingredients - milk and other dairy products, dry fruits, sugar, gram flour (besan) - have risen to records this year.Impact on marginsThe rising prices of inputs including fuel has had a cascading effect on the end product and will squeeze manufacturers' margins, said Suresh Goel, chief executive officer, Bikanervala Foods.Inspections happen during all festival seasons and so good and hygienic practices have become a part of our processing and packaging systems, he said. Since the Covid pandemic, the industry has aligned itself with health trends with even unorganised players making efforts to adopt best practices, he said.
