Tripura Chief Minister Manik Saha announced a significant milestone for the state as 87 investors signed Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs) worth Rs 3,700 crore during the recent investors’ summit held in Agartala. The investments span various sectors, marking an unprecedented boost to the state’s economic landscape.
Unveiling Development Projects
During his visit to Unakoti district, the Chief Minister inaugurated and laid the foundation stones for 34 projects, emphasizing that such large-scale investment proposals were previously unheard of in Tripura. Highlighting the state’s economic progress, Saha noted that Tripura now ranks second in the northeast in terms of Gross State Domestic Product (GSDP), with a substantial rise in per-capita income.
Transparent Governance Attracts Investors
Saha attributed the influx of investors to the state’s transparent governance and peaceful environment. He reiterated the government’s focus on industrial growth through Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs). In a recent meeting with Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw, Saha secured assurances for continued railway infrastructure development, including a new track connecting Dharmanagar to Kailashahar.
Ambitious Infrastructure Plans
The Chief Minister also unveiled plans for Tripura’s tallest building—a 14-storey structure housing all departmental directorates under one roof. The Rs 134 crore project, located in Gurkhabasti on the outskirts of Agartala, will be the first of its kind in the northeastern region.
Commitment to Development
Saha credited the BJP’s “double-engine government” for the state’s rapid development, citing Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s HIRA (Highway, Internet, Railway, and Airway) model as a transformative initiative. He highlighted advancements in internet connectivity, national highways, and railway infrastructure, alongside significant progress in air travel.
Peace and Progress in the Northeast
The Chief Minister emphasized the importance of peace and law and order for sustainable development. He praised PM Modi’s efforts in signing multiple peace pacts, which have restored stability in the northeast. “Without developing the northeast, India’s overall development is not possible,” Saha remarked, echoing the Prime Minister’s vision.
This landmark investment and the government’s developmental initiatives signal a new era of growth and prosperity for Tripura, positioning the state as a key player in the northeast’s economic transformation.
