New Delhi: At the inaugural session of Rising NorthEast Investors Summit 2025 on Friday, Reliance Industries chairperson Mukesh Ambani and Adani Group chairperson Gautam Adani announced major investment commitments totalling Rs 1.25 lakh crore aimed at boosting infrastructure and development in India’s northeastern states.
Ambani pledged to invest Rs 75,000 crore over the next five years, more than doubling Reliance’s existing footprint in the region. Addressing the summit, Ambani outlined six focus areas: expanding Jio 5G and AI access, enhancing farmers’ income, investing in solar energy, improving cancer care, and developing Olympic-level sports training facilities. The investment is expected to generate over 2.5 million direct and indirect jobs, with a focus on connectivity, healthcare, agriculture, and clean energy.
“We see the Northeast not just as a market, but as a key partner in India’s development journey. Our Rs 75,000 crore investment will focus on digital connectivity, clean energy, and human development,” said Ambani in his address.
Gautam Adani announced an additional Rs 50,000 crore investment over 10 years, adding to the Rs 50,000 crore commitment made earlier this year in Assam. The Adani Group’s investments will target green energy (including hydro and smart meters), power transmission, road construction, logistics, digital infrastructure, and skill development.
Adani emphasised the importance of community engagement and local employment. “Every initiative will prioritise local jobs, local entrepreneurship, and community engagement,” he said, describing the investment as aligned with the vision of “Viksit Bharat 2047”.
The summit, inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi , aims to position the Northeast as a key investment destination. It features ministerial and business sessions, startup exhibitions, and policy showcases.
Both industrialists praised the government’s focus on the Northeast, underlining their intent to be long-term partners in the region’s development trajectory.
