Northeast Trade and Investment roadshow to showcase region’s potential in Mumbai

Guwahati, Dec 14: The Ministry of Development of North Eastern Region (MDoNER) is set to host the Northeast Trade and Investment Roadshow in Mumbai on December 16. The event aims to attract investments and unlock the untapped potential of the region, further advancing its journey toward prosperity and development.

The roadshow will be addressed by Union Minister for MDoNER Jyotiraditya M. Scindia, along with Tripura Chief Minister Professor (Dr.) Manik Saha and Meghalaya Chief Minister Conrad K. Sangma. The high-profile event is expected to draw significant attention and participation, reinforcing Mumbai’s role as a financial hub for economic growth in the North East, according to officials.

Momentum for the region’s investment drive has been growing, as evidenced by the recent Ashtalakshmi Mahotsav event in New Delhi, attended by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The event secured investment intents worth ₹2326 crore, signalling a new era of growth and development for the North East.

The Mumbai roadshow will feature State Presentations and key insights from Ministers, aimed at highlighting investment opportunities across the eight North Eastern states—Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Manipur, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Nagaland, Sikkim, and Tripura. The presentations will showcase opportunities in key sectors such as agri-food processing and allied sectors, IT & ITES, entertainment & sports, energy, infrastructure & logistics, tourism & hospitality, education & skill development, and healthcare.

A major highlight of the event will be the Business-to-Government (B2G) meetings, providing potential investors with a unique opportunity to engage directly with state representatives and explore sector-specific investment opportunities. The event is being organized in collaboration with the State Governments of the North Eastern states, with support from FICCI (Industry Partner) and Invest India (Investment Facilitation Partner).

Key officials attending the event include Shri Chanchal Kumar, Secretary, MDoNER, and Monalisa Dash, Joint Secretary, MDoNER, along with senior representatives from the North Eastern states.

This Mumbai event marks the sixth roadshow in an ongoing series that has already visited major cities, including Hyderabad, Kolkata, and Bengaluru, in addition to a state seminar at Vibrant Gujarat. The Hyderabad roadshow, attended by MoS for MDoNER Dr. Sukanta Majumdar, facilitated several B2G meetings that fostered potential investments.

Over the past decade, significant efforts have been made to boost infrastructure development in the North East, covering roadways, highways, airways, railways, and waterways. These initiatives have had a transformative impact on the region’s economy, driving growth in tourism and economic activities.

With its robust lineup of speakers, presentations, and investor engagement opportunities, the Mumbai roadshow aims to further position the North East as a promising investment destination for domestic and global investors.
