In a significant move towards industrial growth, Tripura Chief Minister Manik Saha unveiled the Uttar Poorva Transformative Industrialization Scheme, commonly known as UNNATI-24, aimed specifically at the northeastern region. Launched with an anticipated investment of Rs 10,037 crore, the initiative is projected to create 83,000 jobs over the course of ten years.

Efforts to attract further investment indicate a promising future for the state's industrial sector.
