Rising North East Summit Concludes with Rs 4.3 Trillion Investment Push

The Rising North East Investors Summit 2025 concluded on May 24 with Rs 4.3 trillion in investment proposals, marking a pivotal step in positioning the Northeast Region (NER) as India's next economic powerhouse. The two-day event, inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, attracted participation from over 80 countries and leading Indian industrialists.
Union Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia, in his valedictory address, credited the Modi government’s “whole-of-government” approach for unlocking the region’s potential. High-level task forces have been formed across eight priority sectors including agriculture, tourism, infrastructure, and textiles.
Major corporate pledges included Rs 750 billion by Reliance Industries, Rs 500 billion by Adani Group, and over Rs 300 billion by Vedanta. The summit is the first of its scale organised by the Ministry of Development of the North Eastern Region (MDoNER), following a year of intensive investor outreach with nine roadshows, six state roundtables, and meetings with over 131 investors.
Scindia reaffirmed the Centre’s commitment to swift project execution, positioning NER as India’s gateway to Southeast Asia. The region has seen notable infrastructure gains, including an increase in national highways from 10,905 km in 2014 to 16,207 km in 2024, and a rise in airports from 9 to 17.
