Tripura Chief Minister Prof. Dr. Manik Saha has intensified efforts to attract major investments in the fields of information technology, energy, and tourism. He met with the Reliance Jio team on Saturday to discuss potential investment opportunities that could transform the state’s economic landscape. With a focus on development, the government is looking at collaborations that can bring in advanced technology, sustainable energy solutions, and tourism infrastructure.
Dr. Saha stressed the importance of IT expansion in Tripura, highlighting the state’s growing digital ecosystem. He pointed out that improved internet connectivity and digital services could boost employment and entrepreneurship. The meeting with Reliance Jio explored possibilities for enhancing Tripura’s digital infrastructure, including the expansion of high-speed internet and smart city solutions. The Chief Minister expressed optimism that private sector investment in IT would bridge the digital divide and open new job avenues for the youth.
Energy development was another key area of discussion. The Chief Minister underlined Tripura’s potential in renewable energy and called for greater investment in solar and hydroelectric projects. With an abundance of natural resources, Tripura has the capacity to become a leader in clean energy production in the Northeast. Dr. Saha emphasized that energy self-sufficiency would not only power industries but also provide stable electricity to rural areas, improving overall quality of life.
The meeting also focused on tourism, a sector with untapped potential in Tripura. Dr. Saha highlighted the state’s rich cultural heritage, scenic landscapes, and historical sites. He urged investors to develop eco-tourism projects, resorts, and adventure tourism activities.

The Chief Minister believes that with strategic investment, Tripura can emerge as a major tourist destination in the Northeast.
Government officials and business leaders who attended the meeting appreciated the Chief Minister’s vision. They agreed that public-private partnerships would be crucial in realizing these ambitious goals. Dr. Saha assured investors of a supportive policy environment, fast-tracked approvals, and necessary incentives to facilitate investments.
The state government has already taken steps to improve ease of doing business, streamlining procedures and offering various incentives to investors. Tripura’s geographical location, with access to Southeast Asian markets through Bangladesh, adds to its appeal as an investment hub. The Chief Minister urged industries to explore the state’s potential and contribute to its economic growth.
The discussions also included strategies to skill the local workforce to meet industry demands. The government is working on training programs and collaborations with educational institutions to equip young professionals with the necessary expertise. The Reliance Jio team showed interest in supporting skill development initiatives to create a stronger talent pool in the IT sector.
Dr. Saha reiterated his commitment to transforming Tripura into a business-friendly state. He assured stakeholders that the government would provide all necessary assistance to ensure smooth project implementation. The meeting marked another step in Tripura’s journey toward economic progress, with a clear focus on attracting high-value investments.
