OTM was the first textile mill of the state which was shut down some 17 years ago. The unit was established by former chief minister Biju Patnaik in Choudwar block of Cuttack district in 1950. In 1981, the mill was declared sick owing to mismanagement of company funds. Later, it was taken up by the Government, but in 2001 the textile mill was closed due to extreme financial losses.
