GUWAHATI: The Assam government has intensified efforts to position the state as one of India’s most industry-friendly destinations, banking on large-scale investments, policy reforms and flagship initiatives such as the 'Advantage Assam' programme to drive economic growth and employment generation.
Under the leadership of Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma, the state has rolled out a series of measures aimed at improving the ease of doing business, strengthening infrastructure and attracting both domestic and global investors.
Officials said the focus is on creating a stable policy environment, faster clearances and sector-specific incentives to make Assam a preferred investment hub in eastern India. A major boost to the state’s industrial ambitions has come from the decision to set up a semiconductor manufacturing and assembly ecosystem in Assam. The upcoming semiconductor plant, which forms part of India’s broader push for self-reliance in electronics and chip manufacturing, is expected to put Assam firmly on the country’s high-tech industrial map.
