Agartala, November 11, 2024: In an effort to drive economic growth and employment, Tripura Chief Minister Manik Saha emphasized the state’s commitment to attracting significant investments.

To further attract investors, CM Saha highlighted initiatives such as Destination Tripura, the State Round Table 2023, the Northeastern Global Investor Summit 2023, and the upcoming Tripura Rubber Conclave 2024. “These events attracted 212 investors, leading to MoUs worth over Rs 5,900 crore, aiming to propel Tripura’s development forward,” he added.
