The FICCI Northeast Advisory Council has extended congratulations to Himanta Biswa Sarma on his re-election as Chief Minister of Assam. Ranjit Barthakur, Chairman of the Council, noted that Sarma's leadership has fostered significant economic growth, with Assam's economy nearly doubling from ₹2.75 lakh crore to nearly ₹6 lakh crore over the past six years. The state has seen transformative progress in infrastructure, healthcare, and investment promotion, making it one of India's fastest-growing economies. Key infrastructure initiatives, including new bridges over the Brahmaputra River and improved air connectivity, have bolstered investor confidence.

Barthakur highlighted the Tata Semiconductor project in Jagiroad, which involves an investment of approximately ₹27,000 crore, positioning Assam as a significant player in high-technology manufacturing. The Council has been actively engaged with the government to prioritize developmental areas such as connectivity, tourism, and sustainability. They are optimistic that Sarma's second term will further accelerate Assam's growth trajectory, targeting to double the economy again by 2030.

Ghanshyam Dhanuka, Chairman of the FICCI Assam State Council, echoed these sentiments, emphasizing the renewed confidence among investors and the importance of infrastructure and policy reforms during Sarma's first term. The industry looks forward to continued focus on employment generation, private investments, and strengthening the MSME ecosystem in Assam.
