NEW DELHI, February 24, 2026 : The government of Tripura has secured investment commitments exceeding ₹2,000 crore at a high-profile roadshow in the capital.
The “Destination Tripura – Business Meet 2026”, organised in collaboration with the FICCI, served as a curtain-raiser for the upcoming industrial conclave Destination Tripura: Business Conclave 2026 in Agartala. The event drew a diverse group of institutional investors, policymakers, and the diplomatic community, marking the state's effort to integrate its economy into national and international value chains.
The headline outcome of the roadshow was the signing of several Memoranda of Understanding (MoUs) and Letters of Intent totalling more than ₹2,000 crore. These agreements span multiple sectors, reflecting a concerted effort to diversify the state’s industrial base beyond its traditional strengths.
Ms Santana Chakma, Minister for Industries & Commerce, Government of Tripura, presented a vision emphasising the legislative and bureaucratic overhauls designed to eliminate friction for incoming capital. The Minister briefed attendees on the progressive reforms aimed at ease of doing business.
The state’s strategy focuses on multiple service-sector industries and on investor-friendly policies. Mr Kiran Gitte, Secretary, Industries & Commerce, urged the business community to explore untapped opportunities in skilled human resources, Information Technology, Artificial Intelligence, Tourism, Food Processing, Rubber, and other emerging sectors.
Among the prominent corporate participants at the event, Mr V R Sharma, Vice Chairman Jindal Advisory Service, confirmed its deepening footprint in the region. He noted that the group has already deployed ₹250 crore in the state. “We look forward to investing more in the State,” Sharma said.
Geopolitically, Tripura is positioning itself as a gateway to South-East Asia. This was underscored during an exclusive evening session with ambassadors and high commissioners. The diplomatic meet focused on strengthening international partnerships, enhancing trade linkages, and exploring new avenues for investment and cooperation with Tripura and the Northeastern region.
