Assam secured investment commitments exceeding ₹2.5 lakh crore on the inaugural day of the Advantage Assam 2.0 Investment and Infrastructure Summit 2025, marking a significant milestone in the state’s economic growth. Prime Minister Narendra Modi lauded the summit as a global platform showcasing Assam’s potential and progress.

Four corporate giants—Reliance, Adani, Vedanta, and the Tata Group—announced a collective investment of over ₹2 lakh crore in the northeastern state. Out of the total investment pledges, ₹1.89 lakh crore was formalized through 114 Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs) signed between the Assam government and various companies.

Prime Minister Modi, inaugurating the two-day summit, emphasized the historical significance of Eastern India in driving the nation’s prosperity. He highlighted Assam’s strategic location, positioning it as a gateway to Southeast Asia, and underscored the state’s increasing role in India’s connectivity with East Asia and the India-Middle East-Europe Economic Corridor.

“Despite global uncertainties, India’s rapid economic growth remains undisputed,” Modi remarked, attributing this progress to robust institutional reforms, infrastructure expansion, and innovation-driven initiatives. He also cited Assam’s natural resources, particularly its globally recognized tea industry and expanding refinery capacities, as key economic strengths.

Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma projected that the state’s economy, currently valued at approximately ₹6 lakh crore, is set to reach $143 billion (₹11.8 lakh crore) by 2030. He urged global investors, industry leaders, and diplomats from over 60 countries to be part of the state’s growth trajectory.

Reliance Industries Chairman Mukesh Ambani announced plans to invest ₹50,000 crore across multiple sectors, including nuclear energy, food and non-food supply chains, and hospitality. He noted that Reliance had already surpassed its previous investment commitment of ₹5,000 crore made in 2018, reaching ₹12,000 crore in Assam.

Tata Group Chairman Natarajan Chandrasekaran unveiled plans for a ₹25,000 crore investment in electronics and mobile manufacturing, while Tata Power signed an MoU worth ₹30,000 crore for renewable energy projects focusing on solar rooftops and green power generation.
