The Department of Industries and Commerce of Tripura government on Wednesday organized the “Destination Tripura – Investors’ Roadshow” in Guwahati as part of its ongoing efforts to attract investments ahead of the flagship “Destination Tripura: Business Conclave 2026”.
Held at Hotel Vivanta in Guwahati, the road show aimed to strengthen engagement with the North-East’s business ecosystem by promoting intra-regional partnerships, institutional collaboration, and cross-border investment opportunities.
The programme brought together industry leaders, entrepreneurs, financial institutions, and other stakeholders from across the North-East. During the event, the state government highlighted Tripura’s evolving industrial ecosystem, improved infrastructure, investor-friendly policies, and sector-specific business opportunities.
Addressing the gathering through video conferencing, Secretary of Industries and Commerce department, Kiran Gitte reiterated the state government’s commitment to building a robust and investor-friendly ecosystem through policy reforms, simplified procedures, and time-bound clearances.
He said Tripura is steadily emerging as a preferred investment destination in the North-East due to improved connectivity, strategic geographical positioning, and responsive governance. Gitte also highlighted the state’s growing economic momentum, driven by public investment, governance reforms, and increasing participation from the private sector.
Emphasizing Tripura’s proximity to Bangladesh, he noted that the state is well-positioned to become a gateway for trade, logistics, and cross-border economic activities.
Director of Industries & Commerce, Dr. Deepak Kumar, presented investment opportunities in key sectors such as IT and digital services, healthcare, tourism, agri and food processing, rubber, bamboo and agarwood-based industries, renewable energy, urban infrastructure, and manufacturing.
He underlined the government’s investor-centric approach, pointing to the availability of industrial land, plug-and-play infrastructure, and end-to-end facilitation support for investors from project conceptualization to implementation.
The programme was also attended by the Chairman and Managing Director of the North Eastern Development Finance Corporation (NEDFi), who stressed the importance of development finance institutions in accelerating industrial growth in the North-East. He reaffirmed NEDFi’s commitment to supporting viable projects in Tripura.
The event featured detailed presentations, interactive discussions, and business-to-government (B2G) meetings, enabling direct interaction between investors and senior government officials.
According to officials, the Guwahati Road show generated strong investor interest, resulting in more than 58 Letters of Intent (LoIs) and Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs), with a proposed investment potential exceeding Rs 1,322 crore across multiple sectors.
Officials said the road show marked a significant step in strengthening Tripura’s engagement with the North-East business community and further reinforced the state’s image as a reform-driven and investment-ready emerging economic hub ahead of the upcoming “Destination Tripura: Business Conclave 2026” in Agartala.
