Mumbai to Host Northeast Investment Roadshow Tomorrow

Agartala/Shillong, Dec 15 (NationPress) In an effort to draw in investments and harness the resources of the northeastern region, the Northeast Trade and Investment Roadshow will take place in Mumbai on Monday, according to officials on Sunday.

Officials in Agartala and Shillong indicated that the Ministry of Development of North Eastern Region (MDoNER) would organize the roadshow, which will feature participation from all northeastern states.

DoNER Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia, Tripura Chief Minister Manik Saha, his Meghalaya counterpart Conrad K. Sangma, along with high-ranking officials from both central and state governments, will attend the roadshow.

The upcoming event in Mumbai represents the sixth installment in the current series, showcasing presentations from the eight northeastern states — Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Manipur, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Nagaland, Sikkim, and Tripura.

Previous roadshows held in Mumbai, Hyderabad, Kolkata, and Bengaluru, along with a state seminar at Vibrant Gujarat, have sparked considerable interest among potential investors.

Building upon these initiatives, the DoNER Ministry previously conducted a signing and exchange of MoUs event for the North East Investors Summit on March 6 at Vigyan Bhawan in New Delhi, facilitating discussions between senior officials and investors.

Tripura Industries and Commerce Department Director Vishwasree B. stated: “We aim to showcase the investment prospects in Tripura in areas such as bamboo, Agarwood, rubber, food processing, tourism, and other sectors.”

The roadshow will include Business to Government (B2G) meetings, providing a distinctive opportunity for potential investors to engage directly with state representatives and explore various investment avenues.

This event is being organized in collaboration with the state governments of the northeastern states, FICCI (Industry Partner), and Invest India (Investment Facilitation Partner).

The Chief Minister of Tripura recently mentioned that the current state government is diligently working to attract investors, revealing that over the past year, 212 investors have participated, resulting in MoUs signed for investments exceeding Rs 5,900 crore, with more than 200 investment proposals already submitted and Rs 1,000 crore in the pipeline.
