Advancing ‘Act East’ Vision
On the occasion, the Union Minister will share the Central Government’s priorities and future roadmap for strengthening investment, connectivity, logistics, industrial development and unlocking the immense economic potential of the Northeast, the release added. Union Minister Scindia’s visit is considered an important step towards advancing Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Act East vision and the commitment to a Viksit North East.

Building on Investment Momentum
It may be recalled that the Rising Northeast Investors Summit 2025, held in New Delhi in May 2025, attracted investment proposals worth nearly Rs 4.5 lakh crore for the Northeastern Region. Of these, investment proposals worth approximately Rs 23,867 crore were received for Tripura alone, as per the ministry.
The Summit also witnessed the signing of several significant Memoranda of Understanding aimed at accelerating the holistic development of the Northeast, many of which have now entered the implementation stage. The Tripura Business Conclave 2026 marks the next important step in this process, with the objective of expediting the implementation of investment proposals, attracting fresh investments, and giving new momentum to industrial development and employment generation in the State.
