Assam Electronics Round Table 2025: Opening Doors to Opportunity
The event, hosted in New Delhi, gathered stakeholders from the electronics and technology industries. Business leaders, startup founders, policy makers, and investors came together to discuss Assam’s potential.
In his keynote speech, CM Sarma shared Assam’s vision for becoming a hub of electronics innovation. He highlighted the improvements in infrastructure, education, and ease of doing business. Moreover, he invited companies to tap into the state’s emerging industrial landscape.
Shaping a Tech-Focused Economy
During the Assam Electronics Round Table 2025, the Chief Minister explained the shift in Assam’s economic priorities. While agriculture and tea remain important, Assam is now focused on technology and industry.
One major announcement was the upcoming Electronics Manufacturing Cluster (EMC). This cluster will offer modern infrastructure and incentives for businesses. CM Sarma assured investors of the state’s commitment to providing steady policy support, quality power supply, and skilled labor.
Furthermore, he emphasized Assam’s unique position in India’s Act East Policy. This gives companies access to both domestic and Southeast Asian markets.
Strategic Advantages That Set Assam Apart
Assam’s location is one of its biggest strengths. It shares borders with several countries and acts as a natural trade corridor between India and Southeast Asia. This makes it ideal for companies looking to expand into global markets.
Additionally, the state has improved its connectivity. Better roads, airports, and digital infrastructure are making it easier for businesses to operate. CM Sarma also pointed to the availability of young, educated talent in the region.
Because of these factors, Assam is becoming more attractive to industries that once considered the Northeast too remote.
Investor-Friendly Policies and Incentives
To attract investment, CM Sarma introduced a series of business-friendly incentives. These include:
- Subsidies on capital and power usage
- GST reimbursement for eligible firms
- Low-cost industrial land with plug-and-play facilities
- Streamlined regulatory approvals through single-window systems
- Support for workforce training through local institutions
In addition, investors can benefit from central government schemes like the Production Linked Incentive (PLI), especially in electronics and semiconductors.
As a result, Assam is now well-positioned to compete with more established industrial hubs in India.
Strong Industry Interest and Positive Response
Several companies showed interest during the Assam Electronics Round Table 2025. Firms in LED manufacturing, PCB production, and electronics design explored partnerships with the state.
Startups from Assam also presented their products, ranging from AI solutions to sustainable electronics. This showed that the local ecosystem is growing and ready to support innovation.
Representatives from Dixon Technologies and Lava International appreciated the state’s open approach and invited further dialogue. CM Sarma reassured all attendees that the government would continue to offer full support to committed investors.
Assam’s Industrial Future Looks Bright
The Assam Electronics Round Table 2025 was more than just a business event. It was a signal of Assam’s ambitions and capabilities in the electronics space.
Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma’s message was clear: Assam is ready. With its strategic location, policy incentives, and growing infrastructure, the state offers immense potential for growth. For companies willing to invest in the future, Assam is an opportunity waiting to be explored.
In the words of CM Sarma, “Come to Assam, and grow with Assam.”
