Assam has scripted history by securing investment commitments worth ₹4.91 lakh crore at the Advantage Assam 2.0 Investment and Infrastructure Summit 2025, Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma announced. The summit, aimed at accelerating the state’s industrial growth and infrastructure development, has positioned Assam as a major investment hub in India. The two-day event witnessed the participation of top industrialists, policymakers, and global investors eager to explore Assam’s economic potential. Addressing the gathering at the summit’s conclusion, CM Sarma expressed optimism about the state’s future. “The enthusiasm from investors has been overwhelming. Our focus now is on ensuring that these commitments turn into real projects that will drive economic transformation and create employment opportunities,” he stated.
Advantage Assam 2.0 focused on attracting investments in petrochemicals, renewable energy, tourism, healthcare, logistics, IT, and manufacturing, aligning with the government’s vision for sustainable economic growth. With an emphasis on policy reforms and ease of doing business, the state government has assured investors of fast-tracked clearances, tax incentives, and world-class infrastructure. Union ministers and top corporate leaders highlighted Assam’s strategic location as a gateway to Southeast Asia, emphasizing its potential to become a trade and logistics hub. The summit also showcased Assam’s robust connectivity projects, including expressways, industrial corridors, and port infrastructure.
The Assam government has set a clear roadmap to translate these investment commitments into actual projects. A dedicated task force will monitor the progress of signed Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs), ensuring timely execution and policy support. Experts believe this record investment will significantly boost employment, trade, and industrial output, marking a new era of economic prosperity for the northeastern state. Guwahati’s commercial market and Siliguri’s trade corridor are expected to see increased business activity, benefiting local industries and MSMEs. With Advantage Assam 2.0 setting an unprecedented benchmark, the state is poised for a transformational leap, paving the way for long-term economic stability and industrial expansion.
