Agartala, July 5:
Tripura has set an ambitious target of attracting ₹1 lakh crore in investment through the Destination Tripura Business Conclave 2026, with around 500 business leaders and investors from India and abroad expected to participate in the two-day event beginning July 9 at the International Fair Ground in Hapania.
Speaking to reporters after reviewing preparations at the venue on Sunday, Chief Minister Dr. Manik Saha said the conclave would be organised on a much larger scale than previous editions, reflecting the state’s growing appeal as an investment destination.
“Earlier, the business conclave was held at a hotel, but this time it is being organised at the International Fair Ground at Hapania considering the scale of participation,” the Chief Minister said, adding that investors from across the country and overseas are expected to attend.
Dr. Saha said the state government has fixed a target of securing ₹1 lakh crore worth of investment proposals during the conclave.
He informed that various government departments made presentations during the review meeting, detailing prospective investors, investment commitments and sector-wise participation, while several other investors remain in discussion with the government.
The Chief Minister said extensive preparations are underway involving all key departments. The review meeting was attended by the Chief Secretary, Director General of Police, senior secretaries, local MLA and other officials to ensure the event is organised successfully.
He emphasised that investment summits play a crucial role in accelerating infrastructure development, generating employment opportunities and increasing the state’s GST revenue.
Referring to the state’s recent investment performance, Dr. Saha said Tripura attracted investment proposals worth ₹30,000 crore over the past year, of which projects worth about ₹8,000 crore have already been grounded. Expressing confidence, he said the government expects to achieve this year’s investment target as well.
The Chief Minister said the objective is to encourage investors to establish industries and manufacturing units by leveraging Tripura’s natural resources.
He added that departments including Industries and Commerce, Higher Education, Education, Tourism and several others are actively participating in the conclave, while exhibition stalls are being designed around thematic clusters with multiple departments showcasing integrated opportunities.
Highlighting Tripura’s improving investment climate, Dr. Saha attributed growing investor confidence to the state’s stable law and order situation.
“No investor is willing to come unless law and order is conducive. Today, Tripura has a peaceful environment, and that is one of the reasons why investors from India and abroad are showing interest,” he said.
According to the Chief Minister, the government is making elaborate arrangements for accommodation, logistics and coordination for the visiting delegates.
Dr. Saha also announced that Union Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia is scheduled to attend the conclave on July 9-10, lending further momentum to the state’s flagship investment summit.
