The initiative brought together industry leaders, entrepreneurs, financial institutions, and key stakeholders from across the North-East region, according to a government press release.
The programme showcased Tripura’s evolving industrial ecosystem, infrastructure advancements, progressive policy framework, and sector-specific investment opportunities, with a strong focus on investment facilitation and ease of doing business an approach consistently emphasized across similar roadshows held nationwide.
Addressing the gathering through video conferencing, Kiran Gitte, Secretary, Industries & Commerce, Government of Tripura, reiterated the State Government’s commitment to strengthening a robust and investor-friendly ecosystem through policy reforms, procedural simplification, and time-bound approvals. He emphasized that Tripura is steadily emerging as a preferred investment destination in the North-East, backed by improving connectivity, strategic geographic positioning, and a responsive governance framework.
Gitte further highlighted Tripura’s evolving growth narrative, noting that the State is witnessing accelerated economic momentum driven by public investment, governance reforms, and increasing private sector participation. He underscored Tripura’s strategic proximity to international markets, particularly Bangladesh, positioning the State as a gateway for trade, logistics, and cross-border economic activity.
Providing a comprehensive sectoral perspective, Dr. Deepak Kumar, Director, Industries & Commerce, Government of Tripura, outlined investment opportunities across priority sectors including IT & Digital Services, Healthcare, Tourism, Agri & Food Processing, Rubber, Bamboo and Agarwood-based industries, Renewable Energy, Urban Infrastructure, and Manufacturing.
