Tripura has emerged as a major investment destination after securing investment intent worth Rs 1,21,303 crore through 342 Memoranda of Understanding (MoUs) at the Destination Tripura – Business Conclave 2026.
Held in Agartala, the two-day conclave attracted over 2,000 investors and delegates, representatives from nearly 1,200 organisations, and participants from 11 countries, making it the state’s largest investment outreach event to date.
The event was inaugurated by Chief Minister Dr Manik Saha in the virtual presence of Union Ministers Jyotiraditya M. Scindia and Piyush Goyal. During the event, the Centre praised Tripura’s business-friendly reforms and ease of doing business, while inviting industries to invest in the state.
“Tripura has emerged as one of the fastest-growing states in the country. Our Gross State Domestic Product has doubled in just six years, reflecting the impact of progressive reforms, infrastructure development and transparent governance,” Chief Minister Dr Manik Saha said.
Chief Minister Dr Saha said Tripura’s Gross State Domestic Product (GSDP) has doubled in the last six years, driven by reforms, infrastructure development and transparent governance. He highlighted opportunities across sectors including rubber, bamboo, agriculture, food processing, tourism, healthcare, IT, artificial intelligence, electronics manufacturing and data centres.
“Tripura has made remarkable progress in creating an investor-friendly ecosystem. The state’s commitment to deregulation, improved governance and infrastructure development makes it an attractive destination for industry,” Jyotiraditya M. Scindia said.
During the technical sessions, Keshav Kumar Pathak, Special Secretary, Cabinet Secretariat, Government of India, commended Tripura for completing both phases of the Deregulation Initiative in record time and observed that the state’s reform-driven governance had set a benchmark for regulatory simplification across the country.
Dr V. Anantha Nageswaran, Chief Economic Adviser to the Government of India, described Tripura as a national model for regulatory reforms, noting that the successful implementation of all 51 priority reforms under the Compliance Reduction and Deregulation Initiative had significantly strengthened investor confidence and enhanced the ease of doing business. He said Tripura’s single-window clearance portal was emerging as a national best-practice model for technology transfer and that the state’s reform framework was already being shared with other states.
Concluding the conclave, Shri Kiran Gitte, IAS, Secretary, Industries & Commerce (including Information Technology), Health & Family Welfare, Government of Tripura, said, “The response to Destination Tripura reflects the growing confidence of both domestic and international investors in the state’s economic potential. The investment commitments secured during the conclave reaffirm the confidence reposed in Tripura’s reform-oriented and investor-friendly governance. Our focus now is to facilitate the timely implementation of these projects so that they translate into industries, employment opportunities and inclusive economic growth.”
