Reliance Industries Limited (RIL) has announced a substantial investment commitment of over Rs 50,000 crore in Assam over the next five years. Chairman and Managing Director Mukesh Ambani made the announcement at the Advantage Assam 2.0 Investment & Infrastructure Summit 2025 in Guwahati on Tuesday.
Addressing the gathering at the summit, Ambani emphasized Reliance’s long-term commitment to the development of Assam, particularly in the technology and digital sectors. He stated, “In the coming years, Reliance will more than quadruple its investment in Assam to over Rs 50,000 crore.”
Recalling the company’s earlier commitment of Rs 5,000 crore at the 2018 summit, Ambani highlighted that Reliance has since exceeded Rs 12,000 crore in investments in the state. He underscored Reliance’s priority of making Assam “tech-ready and AI-ready,” calling the state’s digital transformation a “noble and patriotic mission.”
Ambani noted that Jio has played a crucial role in modernizing Assam’s telecom infrastructure, making it “not only 2G-mukt but 5G-yukt” (free from 2G and empowered with 5G). He expressed gratitude to the people of Assam for embracing Jio wholeheartedly.
Praising Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s leadership, Ambani stated that the summit’s theme, Advantage Assam, reflects the transformation the state has undergone under Modi’s governance. He identified four key advantages that Modi has brought to Assam:
1. *Centralizing Assam’s Development*: “You have brought Assam and the rest of the northeast from the periphery to the center of India’s development map,” Ambani said, noting that the Prime Minister has visited the region more than 70 times—more than any other previous leader.
2. *Inspiring New Mantra*: “You have given Assam an inspiring new mantra: Act East, Act Fast, and Act First,” Ambani said, adding that Assam has the potential to develop rapidly and become a hub of growth opportunities in Southeast and East Asia.
3. *Connectivity Revolution*: Ambani highlighted the “unprecedented connectivity revolution” in Assam and the Northeast, which encompasses physical, digital, developmental, and emotional connectivity with the rest of India.
4. *Emphasis on Technology*: He emphasized the importance of technology as a key driver of development, expressing confidence that Assam will emerge as a “technological paradise” in the coming decades, similar to its global reputation as a tea paradise.
With Reliance’s massive new investment commitment, Assam is poised to see significant growth in digital infrastructure, artificial intelligence, and overall economic development in the years ahead.
