Task force formed to boost Northeast investment strategies
The Indian government has established a task force led by Tripura Chief Minister Manik Saha to enhance investment in the Northeast region. This decision was made during the North Eastern Council's plenary session in December 2024. The task force includes several chief ministers and will submit its report in six months. It aims to recommend policy reforms to improve business conditions and attract investments in key sectors like agro-processing, IT, and renewable energy. The task force will focus on creating investment clusters and promoting public-private partnerships. This initiative follows discussions at the NEC meeting, where the importance of the Northeast in various national issues was emphasized.
