Agartala: Tripura Chief Minister Manik Saha, on November 11, emphasized the state’s commitment to boosting its economy by attracting investment, with over 200 investments already secured and more than Rs 1,000 crore worth of projects in the pipeline.
Speaking at the inauguration of a state-level workshop on the UNNATI initiative at Pragna Bhavan in Agartala, CM Saha outlined the government’s focus on key sectors such as bamboo, rubber, agar, hospitality, education, and health.
“The government is making concerted efforts to develop these sectors and promote growth in Tripura. In the MSME sector, we are particularly focusing on rubber, bamboo, agriculture, horticulture, and tea. MSMEs play a vital role in our economy, contributing significantly to the state’s GDP and creating employment opportunities,” said the Chief Minister.

He mentioned that the state has created approximately 2.95 lakh jobs in the last three years, with 66,443 enterprises registered, including 65,583 micro, 803 small, and 57 medium enterprises.
To further enhance the investment climate, initiatives like “Destination Tripura,” the “State Round Table 2023,” the “Northeastern Global Investor Summit 2023,” and the upcoming “Tripura Rubber Conclave 2024” were organized to attract investors. These events saw participation from 212 investors, leading to the signing of Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs) worth over Rs 5,900 crore.
