A newly formed task force, chaired by Tripura Chief Minister Manik Saha, has been established to boost investment in Northeast India. This five-member team is tasked with assessing the current investment landscape and crafting strategies to position the region as an attractive destination for investors.

The panel includes prominent leaders such as DoNER Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia and chief ministers from Meghalaya, Nagaland, and Sikkim. It aims to identify critical sectors like agriculture, tourism, IT, and renewable energy, and develop focused investment clusters within these areas.
