In an effort to change the course of the state’s development, Prime Minister Narendra Modi revealed a number of large-scale projects in Assam that are estimated to be worth over ₹20,000 crore. The projects, which cover transportation, infrastructure, education, and agriculture, show a broad drive for social and economic change. The Namrup Fertilizer Unit, which has a production capacity of 12 lakh metric tons (LMT) and is valued at ₹12,000 crore, is the main focus of the announcements. The plant, which is regarded as one of the biggest in the area, is anticipated to greatly increase agricultural output and lessen reliance on fertilizers.
Modi initiated the ₹7,000 crore Guwahati Ring Road and Kuruwa–Narengi Road projects as part of a significant connectivity push. These projects are intended to reduce traffic and enhance smooth transportation in the capital city. Additionally, the government has authorized the construction of the Kamalabari–Nimati Ghat bridge and an express corridor to the Barak Valley, both of which are anticipated to improve regional ties and facilitate trade. The double-laning of the Lumding–Tinsukia railway line will also improve passenger convenience and cargo flow throughout the state’s transportation network.
The Prime Minister also unveiled the Kaziranga elevated corridor, which would ease travel while preserving the park’s distinctive ecology, in an effort to strike a balance between development and conservation. With the acceptance of IIM Guwahati, which would provide top-notch management education and open up new chances for Assamese youth, education saw a significant boost. With the potential to make Assam a major center of development in the Northeast, the projects represent one of the biggest investment promises made to the state in recent years.
