The Rising Northeast Investors Summit 2025, organized by the Ministry of Development of North Eastern Region (MDoNER), aimed to boost trade and investment in the North Eastern Region of India. The summit and related pre-event roadshows generated investment interest totaling ₹4.48 lakh crore through Memoranda of Understanding (MoUs), letters of intent, and qualified leads from private investors, public sector undertakings, and major industrial conglomerates. State Governments are actively working to materialize these MoUs. The energy and agri-food processing allied sectors attracted the most investment proposals. To facilitate investments, the Government of India is implementing the Uttar Poorva Transformative Industrialization (UNNATI) Scheme, which provides incentives like Capital Investment Incentive, Central Capital Interest Subvention Incentive, and Manufacturing Services Linked Incentive. State governments are also offering single-window clearance, establishing investment promotion agencies, creating land banks, and providing investment incentives. MDoNER is coordinating with States and other stakeholders to ensure effective grounding of these investment proposals. Furthermore, State Governments are promoting low-carbon technologies and environmentally sustainable practices, prioritizing projects categorized as Green industries that cause minimal negative environmental impact, to ensure environmental sustainability and climate resilience during project implementation.
