He said Agartala is emerging as a strategic gateway to Southeast Asia, connecting businesses to the ASEAN region of over 670 million people and one of the world’s largest economic blocs.

Union Minister of DoNER highlighted Tripura’s exceptional strengths, including abundant reserves of natural gas, bamboo, agarwood, rubber, tea, spices and horticultural produce, a highly educated workforce, investor-friendly policies, expanding infrastructure, and India’s third International Internet Gateway. He noted that Tripura’s emergence as India’s largest bamboo-producing State and the country’s second-largest producer of natural rubber offers immense opportunities for manufacturing, food processing, value addition, logistics, exports and technology-led industries.

Emphasising that “investment follows confidence, confidence follows infrastructure, and infrastructure follows vision”, Scindia said the Government of India has fundamentally transformed the Northeast’s development landscape over the past decade through enhanced connectivity, modern infrastructure and strong institutional support. He highlighted key initiatives such as the India–Myanmar–Thailand Trilateral Highway, the Kaladan Multimodal Transit Transport Project, the Special Economic Zone at Sabroom, the Maitri Setu bridge and the Integrated Check Post, all of which are positioning Tripura as a springboard for exports to Southeast Asia.Calling upon investors to seize the opportunities before them, Scindia said Tripura’s transformation from a landlocked State into a gateway to the Bay of Bengal reflects the larger transformation of the Northeast under Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s leadership. Reaffirming the Government of India’s unwavering commitment to the region, he said the Ashtalakshmi States are poised to lead India’s next chapter of economic growth.
