Agartala/Shillong, Dec 15 (NationPress) In a bid to draw investments and leverage the resources available in the northeastern states, the Northeast Trade and Investment Roadshow will take place in Mumbai on Monday, as confirmed by officials on Sunday.
Officials from Agartala and Shillong announced that the Ministry of Development of North Eastern Region (MDoNER) will host the roadshow, with participation from all the northeastern states.
Present at the roadshow will be DoNER Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia, Tripura Chief Minister Manik Saha, and Meghalaya Chief Minister Conrad K. Sangma, along with key officials from central and state governments.
Monday's event in Mumbai represents the sixth installment in this series, showcasing presentations from the eight northeastern states: Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Manipur, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Nagaland, Sikkim, and Tripura.
Previous roadshows in cities such as Mumbai, Hyderabad, Kolkata, and Bengaluru, along with the state seminar at Vibrant Gujarat, have attracted considerable attention from prospective investors.
To build on these initiatives, the DoNER Ministry also organized a signing and exchange of MoUs event for the North East Investors Summit on March 6 at Vigyan Bhawan in New Delhi, which facilitated discussions between senior officials and investors.
The Director of Tripura Industries and Commerce Department, Vishwasree B., stated: “We aim to showcase the investment potential in Tripura in sectors such as bamboo, Agarwood, rubber, food processing, tourism, and more.”
Additionally, the roadshow will include Business to Government (B2G) meetings, presenting a unique chance for potential investors to engage directly with state representatives and discover investment opportunities across diverse sectors.
This event is organized in collaboration with the state governments of the northeastern states, FICCI (Industry Partner), and Invest India (Investment Facilitation Partner).
Recently, the Chief Minister of Tripura remarked that the current state government is committed to attracting investors, noting that over the past year, 212 investors engaged, resulting in MoUs for an investment exceeding Rs 5,900 crore, with over 200 investment proposals already made and Rs 1,000 crore in the pipeline.
