“The North East has immense potential to become India’s next big investment destination. We’re working together to unlock it,” — CM Dr. Manik Saha
In a major development for the North Eastern Region, Tripura Chief Minister Dr. Manik Saha announced that the High-Level Task Force on Investment Promotion is set to submit its comprehensive report to the North Eastern Council (NEC) by September 2025.
The announcement came during a Stakeholder Consultation held in Agartala on Friday, organized by the Government of Tripura in collaboration with the Ministry of DoNER.
Focus on Transforming the Northeast
Under the leadership of Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, the region’s eight states—collectively known as Ashtalakshmi—are witnessing a strategic push to become hubs of industrial and economic development.
Dr. Saha emphasized that the Task Force’s report will contain inputs from all eight North Eastern states, focusing on sector-specific opportunities, infrastructure gaps, and investment-friendly reforms.
“With nine major investment events already conducted, including the Rising Northeast Investors Summit, we’ve seen concrete outcomes—MoUs signed, projects started, and investor confidence growing,” said the Chief Minister.
Road Ahead
Senior government officials, policy experts, and private sector leaders participated in the consultation, discussing ways to improve logistics, connectivity, ease of doing business, and sectoral policy alignment across the Northeast. Dr. Saha added that the final report will serve as a blueprint for sustained investment promotion, aligning with the Prime Minister’s vision for a self-reliant and developed North East.
