Minister Chairs Curtain Raiser for Rising NE Investor Summit

Union Minister of Communications and Development of North Eastern Region, Shri Jyotiraditya Scindia, chaired the curtain raiser event for the Rising North East Investor Summit 2025. The event showcased the region’s immense potential as a future growth hub for India.

Shri Scindia highlighted the government’s commitment to the North East, with almost Rs 1000 billion allocated annually as part of gross budgetary support, tax devolution, and private sector participation. Once seen as the periphery, the region has now become central to India’s growth story.

He emphasised the North East’s rich cultural diversity, abundant natural resources, and strategic location as a gateway to Southeast Asia. The past decade of investments in infrastructure, healthcare, education, and digital connectivity has set the stage for the region’s rise as an economic powerhouse.

Pre-summit activities, including roadshows and an Ambassadors’ Meet, have attracted investment proposals worth over Rs 1000 billion. The summit focuses on sectors such as tourism, agro-food processing, textiles, healthcare, education, IT, infrastructure, energy, and entertainment.

The government aims to make the North East India’s most prosperous region by 2047, a global hub for startups and tourism.
