Union Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia to attend Tripura Business Conclave 2026 in Agartala
New Delhi, July 8
Union Minister of Development of North Eastern Region and Communications, Jyotiraditya M Scindia, will be on a one-day visit to Tripura on Thursday.
According to the Ministry of Development of the North-East Region, during the visit, he will attend the Tripura Business Conclave 2026 as the Chief Guest at the International Fair Grounds, Hapania, Agartala, where he will address industry leaders, investors, entrepreneurs and policymakers.
The objective of the Tripura Business Conclave 2026 is to accelerate industrial investment in the State, promote trade and entrepreneurship, and connect local industries with national and global markets.
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. The Central Government remains committed to transforming the Northeast into a strong growth engine of India's development journey by continuously strengthening infrastructure, communication connectivity, industry, tourism and investment across the region.
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.

Rs 23,867 crore for Tripura alone at the last summit? That's impressive if implemented properly. Let's see how much translates into ground reality - roads, jobs, and connectivity.
Act East is all good on paper, but the border areas need more than a one-day trip. Long-term infrastructure, especially railways and digital connectivity, is what we really need. Still, any serious attention to Northeast is welcome.
So glad to see Northeast finally getting its due! From being called 'seven sisters' to becoming a growth engine - this is real change. Hope Agartala gets better connectivity with rest of India. 🤞
Question is: will these investment proposals actually employ local youth? Or will it just be big companies from outside taking benefits? I hope they focus on skill development along with investment. Needs local involvement.
Jyotiraditya Scindia ji is doing a commendable job. From telecom to Northeast development - he handles diverse portfolios. The Rising Northeast Summit 2025 was a huge success, and now Tripura Business Conclave is the next logical step. Proud as an Indian!
As someone from Tripura, I can say this is much-needed. But we've seen such events before - big
