The Odisha Cabinet, led by Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi, has implemented a series of policy, infrastructure, and regulatory reforms.

Initial measures focused on technology, energy, and agriculture. These included amending the semiconductor manufacturing policy, updating the renewable energy policy to remove wind power caps, and approving over Rs 12,847 crore for irrigation projects. Administrative updates also included the implementation of a digital workflow automation system and revisions to civil service rehabilitation rules.

Subsequent actions expanded into regulatory streamlining and water infrastructure. The Cabinet introduced the Odisha Jan Vishwas Bill, 2026, which aims to decriminalize minor procedural offenses and simplify business operations by amending 62 provisions across 16 State Acts. Additionally, the government approved the BASUDHA scheme with a Rs 5,045 crore outlay for rural water supply and established new online land management rules for the Shree Jagannath Temple.
