Tripura emerging as most promising investment destination, says CM

Investor-friendly ecosystem, progressive policies, robust infrastructure, and immense growth potential make Tripura a promising investment destination, Chief Minister Dr. Manik Saha said on Thursday.

He said the two-day ongoing business conclave is expected to witness signing of MoUs with investment intent of over Rs. 1 lakh crore, unlocking opportunities for further industrial growth in the state.

“I am happy to note that during the Destination Tripura Business Conclave 2026, more than 1200 delegates are participating, and more than 250 MoUs are being inked with an investment intent of more than Rs. 1 lakh crore. With the proactive support of ‘Team Tripura’, we are highly confident that most of these MoUs will be converted into projects on the ground in the near future,” he said.

The Chief Minister was speaking at the inaugural session of the business conclave at international fair ground, Hapania, in the virtual presence of Union Minister of Commerce and Industry Piyush Goyal and Union DoNER Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia.

He said, the overwhelming response from business leaders, entrepreneurs, and delegates from across the country and abroad reflect the growing confidence of investors in Tripura and marks another significant milestone in the state’s journey towards accelerating industrial growth, creating employment opportunities, and ensuring sustainable economic development for the state.

The Chief Minister further said that the strategic location of Tripura, with its 856-km border with Bangladesh, makes it the gateway to Southeast Asia.

“Agartala–Akhaura International Rail Link, development of Maharaja Bir Bikram Airport as an international airport, Maitri Setu connecting Sabroom to Chattogram Port, and the Sonamura–Daudkandi Inland Water Transport route to Kolkata and Haldia ports through Bangladesh are real opportunities for a seamless multi-modal transport and logistics ecosystem. Tripura offers immense opportunities in logistics parks, warehousing, cold-chain infrastructure, multimodal cargo hubs, electric mobility, commercial pilot training and aircraft maintenance engineering, heliports and air ambulance services, and seaplane operations at Dumbur Lake,” he said.

Dr. Saha also elaborated the potential sectors and investment-ready infrastructure including opportunities in IT in the state.

Along with the Chief Minister, other members of the state cabinet, Ambassadors and High Commissioners of nine countries, industry leaders, and officials of various departments were present.

The Chief Minister and several other ministers had one-to-one meetings with the industry leaders and international delegates.

“Investors are showing interests in Tripura’s potential sectors including IT and Agriculture. During discussions with the High Commission of Bangladesh to India, we emphasized on export. In the discussions I also highlighted the incentive and policies  of the state government.
