Agartala, Jan 7 (NationPress) Investors from all over the nation are showing a keen interest in investing approximately Rs 15,000 crore in Tripura, with initiatives amounting to Rs 4,000 crore already underway across 68 projects, according to officials.
A top representative from the state’s Industries and Commerce Department stated that Tripura has achieved the highest rank in the country for successfully implementing the single-window system for obtaining approvals related to land, construction, services, and more. This was highlighted during a recent evaluation of the investment and industrial performance across 36 states and Union Territories, overseen by the Union Cabinet Secretary in New Delhi.
The official mentioned that similar discussions were held at the fifth All-India Conference of Chief Secretaries from December 26 to 28, which was chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. At the conference, Tripura Chief Secretary Jitendra Kumar Sinha emphasized the state's favorable investment environment, opportunities, and industrial capabilities.
The conference concluded with a resolution for other states to learn from Tripura’s strategies, policies, and reforms aimed at boosting investment and industrial growth. Following this decision, the Bihar government has invited Tripura officials to Patna on Thursday for a knowledge-sharing session regarding the state's business reform initiatives.
“At the Prime Minister's direction, various states have adopted business reforms, resulting in increased investment across the nation,” the official stated.
In a related note, Tripura Chief Minister Manik Saha recently pointed out the investment progress, mentioning that during the recent Investors’ Summit in New Delhi, inaugurated by Prime Minister Modi, investment proposals totaling Rs 30,000 crore were received, with around Rs 15,000 crore specifically linked to Tripura due to the state’s prevailing peace and stability.
The Union Ministry of Development of North Eastern Region (DoNER) has established several High-Level Task Forces to identify essential interventions and create actionable strategies for the integrated growth of the North East Economic Corridor.
These task forces were formed after the 72nd plenary session of the North-Eastern Council (NEC) held in November 2024 in Agartala, presided over by Union Home Minister Amit Shah.
