04 Nov 2025 CW Team

Speaking at a foundation stone-laying event in Guwahati, Sarma said the inflow of investments will generate substantial employment opportunities for the state’s youth and strengthen key sectors including healthcare and hospitality.

The Chief Minister laid the foundation stones for three major projects — the Medanta Super Speciality Hospital by Global Health Limited, the Cocoon Mother and Childcare Hospital by RJ Corp Healthcare, and a five-star Lemon Tree Hotel.

“These projects mark a significant milestone in Assam’s industrial development and will have a lasting impact on enhancing the state’s healthcare and hospitality infrastructure,” Sarma stated.

He added that by December, multiple projects — including palm storage ventures worth Rs 300 billion — will commence, bringing the total investment pipeline to approximately Rs 1.78 trillion.

The Chief Minister emphasised that the government’s proactive policies and investor outreach have successfully reshaped Assam’s image nationwide, with several MoUs signed during Advantage Assam 2.0 now translating into on-ground projects worth around Rs 800 crore.

The Medanta Super-Speciality Hospital will be constructed on 3.5 acres of land, the Cocoon Mother and Childcare Hospital on 1 acre, and the Lemon Tree hotel on 1.75 acres.

The integrated complex comprising hospitals, a hotel, and service apartments at Sarusajai will open a new chapter for medical tourism not only in Assam but across neighbouring states and the entire Southeast Asian region, he said.

The chief minister expressed confidence that Assam's youth will no longer need to leave the state in search of jobs in the coming years.

State Industries and Commerce Minister Bimal Bora also attended the event.
