Assam Cabinet Approves Major Investments, Urban Development, and Policy Reforms

The Assam state Cabinet, led by Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma, has approved a series of strategic investments, urban development projects, healthcare reforms, and policy updates in the textile and biotechnology sectors.

A key highlight of the meeting was the approval of Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs) set to be signed at the upcoming Advantage Assam Summit. The summit, Assam’s premier global investment forum, aims to position the state as a major economic hub in the Northeast by attracting investments across industries such as manufacturing, logistics, IT, and renewable energy. Having first launched in 2018, the event has been instrumental in driving global investor interest, and the 2025 edition is expected to witness participation from over 60 countries.

To tackle rising urban congestion, the Cabinet approved the construction of a new flyover at Amolapatty Junction along old NH-37 in Dibrugarh, a crucial commercial hub. Additionally, Rs 554.5 million has been sanctioned for urban infrastructure projects in Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities, aimed at ensuring balanced regional development.

In a significant boost to the healthcare sector, the Cabinet greenlit the Dynamic Assured Career Progression (DACP) Scheme for 2025. Designed to retain and incentivise doctors in government medical colleges, the initiative promises structured career growth and financial incentives, strengthening Assam’s public healthcare system and medical education standards.

The state’s traditional textile industry also received a major push with the approval of the Textiles and Apparel Policy, Assam, 2025, which seeks to foster an investor-friendly environment by improving access to raw materials and skilled manpower. Assam, renowned for its unique handloom traditions such as Muga silk, Eri, and Assamese cotton weaves, aims to scale up production by integrating modern manufacturing techniques.

Further, amendments to the Assam Biotechnology Policy (2022-2027) were approved to align it with the BioE3 Policy, designed to drive innovation in biotechnology research, industrial growth, and entrepreneurship. The state has been increasingly focusing on biotech-driven agriculture, pharmaceuticals, and environmental sustainability, positioning itself as a rising player in the sector.
