Tripura Chief Minister Manik Saha has chaired a high-level task force meeting aimed at accelerating investment promotion in the Northeast region. The meeting, attended by Union Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia and senior officials, focused on developing a strategic roadmap to attract domestic and international investors.
Strategic Roadmap for Northeast Investment
During the meeting, it was decided to:
- Hold stakeholder consultations with industry associations and potential investors.

Union Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia, who joined the meeting virtually, praised Tripura’s economic progress, stating that the Northeast must follow Tripura’s example to achieve sustainable development. He also assured government support for:
- Expanding palm cultivation in the region.
- Launching a 19-seater flight service from Kailashahar Airport.
- Boosting tourism and aviation connectivity.
Looking Ahead
With the Tripura government actively pushing investment-friendly policies, the Northeast is poised for economic transformation. As consultations progress, stakeholders anticipate major investment announcements in the coming months.
