Reliance Industries and Adani Group have made substantial investment pledges for the Northeast region at the Rising Northeast Investors Summit 2025 in New Delhi's Bharat Mandapam on Friday. The companies committed Rs 75,000 crore and Rs 50,000 crore respectively, demonstrating their confidence in the region's economic potential.
During the summit, Reliance Industries Chairman Mukesh Ambani presented his strategic vision for the northeastern states, including Arunachal Pradesh and Nagaland. "In the near future, I can see these regions replicating the success of neighbouring countries like Singapore," Ambani said according to an ET report.
Reliance’s investment plans for North-EastReliance's existing investment of Rs 30,000 crore in the Northeast spans four decades, with plans now in place to increase this figure to Rs 75,000 crore.
Ambani detailed six primary commitments towards developing India's northeastern states, highlighting Reliance's increased regional involvement. The company aims to enhance the lives of 45 million Northeast residents whilst generating over 2.5 million employment opportunities, both direct and indirect.
Jio's services currently reach 90% of the region's population, with 5 million 5G subscribers, targeting to double this figure within the year. Ambani emphasised their focus on implementing Artificial Intelligence across educational institutions, healthcare facilities, businesses, and households in the region. "When talent meets technology and competence meets connectivity, our Northeast will surge ahead," he said.
In retail operations, Reliance aims to expand its procurement network for essential food items, agricultural produce, and vegetables, benefiting regional farmers whilst investing in FMCG manufacturing facilities and supporting local artisans. The clean energy initiatives include expanding solar power capacity and developing 350 integrated compressed biogas facilities, transforming unused lands into productive resources.
Regarding healthcare services, Reliance Foundation's priority is to deliver superior cancer treatment facilities to the area, beginning with a 150-bed specialised cancer treatment facility in Manipur, alongside research partnerships with Mizoram University focusing on breast cancer studies utilising genetic information. The organisation has also established an advanced molecular diagnostics and research facility in Guwahati, featuring one of India's largest genome sequencing operations, with the objective of establishing the region as a prominent healthcare and research centre.
Adani’s investment plans for North-East
Gautam Adani , the Chairman of Adani Group, announced plans to invest an additional Rs 50,000 crore in the Northeast region over the next decade. He described the Northeast as a region of resilience with unexplored opportunities, whilst acknowledging Prime Minister Modi's strategic focus on the region's economic development.
"Prime Minister, when you say 'Act East, Act Fast, Act First', you gave the Northeast a wake-up call," Adani said. "Behind this rise is the vision of one leader who recognised no borders, only beginnings."
The fresh investment from Adani Group will focus on developing infrastructure, logistics networks, energy projects and digital connectivity solutions, demonstrating their sustained dedication to the region's comprehensive growth.
These investment declarations significantly validate the government's Act East Policy , which aims to enhance India's connections with Southeast Asian nations through the development of a robust northeastern corridor.
