Jindal Steel & Power Ltd (JSPL) has expressed interest to set up a container manufacturing unit at Paradip, as part of its commitment to 'Atmanirbhar Bharat' and 'Make in Odisha' initiatives.

It will be a port-based container manufacturing unit to be built on over 100 acres of land, JSPL Chairman Naveen Jindal said during a visit to Paradip Port.

The Paradip Port authorities have agreed to provide 100 acres of land required for the purpose, sources said.
