In Guwahati on March 13, the Assam government signed “Confirmation of Investment” agreements with 69 companies, collectively worth about Rs 1.67 lakh crore, Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma said.
An official release said the pacts — with leading business houses and public sector undertakings — are expected to bring investments totalling Rs 1,67,108.51 crore and generate roughly 1 lakh direct and indirect jobs in the state.
Sarma described the move as “converting intent into action”, saying the agreements build on the momentum from the Advantage Assam 2.0 summit and were signed at a function attended by him.
Major organisations named among the signatories include Adani Defence & Aerospace, Adani Airport City Ltd, Ambuja Concrete North Pvt Ltd, Ambuja Neotia Healthcare Venture Ltd, Bharat A to Z Pvt Ltd, Conmat Systems Pvt Ltd, Numaligarh Refinery Ltd, Oil India Ltd and Oil and Natural Gas Corporation, among others.
Speaking at the event, Sarma thanked the companies for turning their summit commitments into concrete partnerships. “These investments will accelerate industrial growth, generate employment opportunities and further strengthen the state’s economic transformation. From tea to chips, Assam is steadily building a diversified and future-ready economy,” he said.
Sarma noted that Advantage Assam 2.0 had seen MoUs worth Rs 5.18 lakh crore signed, and that projects worth nearly Rs 3 lakh crore have been grounded within a year of the summit — figures he presented as evidence of progress in implementing the commitments.
Officials said the confirmed investments are expected to boost industrial activity across sectors and support Assam’s broader goal of economic diversification and job creation.
