  • Agro-Food Processing and Allied Sectors
  • Textiles, Handloom, and Handicrafts
  • Healthcare

  • IT/ITeS
  • Entertainment and Sports

Dr Sukanta Majumdar, Minister of State for DoNER, shared this information in a written reply in the Lok Sabha on Wednesday. He emphasized that state governments are actively engaged with investors to implement signed Memoranda of Understanding (MoUs), with MDoNER regularly monitoring progress through review meetings.

To streamline the investment process, state governments have undertaken measures such as:

  • Single-window clearance systems
  • Dedicated investment promotion agencies
  • Creation of land banks
  • Investment-linked incentive schemes
  • Appointment of Nodal Officers in each state for facilitating MoU execution

Importantly, MDoNER and state governments are promoting low-carbon technologies and environmentally sustainable practices. Priority is being given to green industries that have minimal adverse environmental impact, aligning development goals with ecological preservation in the sensitive North Eastern region.

The Rising Northeast Investors Summit 2025 represents a renewed thrust by the government to unlock the untapped economic potential of the region by fostering inclusive, sustainable, and investment-friendly ecosystems.
