Glimpses of Industrial Units
Tripura has a great potential for investment.
Tripura has witnessed tremendous development over the last few
years in basic infrastructure as well as industrial
infrastructure and has advanced to the top of the North East
business locations in India.
The Bodhjungnagar Industrial Complex has been developed,
adjacent to the state capital Agartala, on about 550
acres of land with all infrastructure facilities like, road,
power, water, pipes natural gas etc. About 80% of the land has
been allotted and Industrial Houses from all over India,
specially, Delhi, Bangalore, Kolkata, Guwahati etc. have
started their venture at Bodhjungnagar in a very short period.
The largest Latex Based Rubber Thread Unit has been set up by
M/S DS Group (Investment – 80 crore), M/S
DP Group has set up a cold Steel Rolling Plant (Investment-
214 cr), TMT Bar unit, Cement plant, packaged Drinking water
plant, ferric alum, Distillery, Agarbati manufacturing unit
with marketing arrangement with ITC (Mangaldeep), Food
products, ACC Conductors, PVC coated wires, steel & wrought
Iron furniture etc units have already been set up. Breweries,
ayurvedic medicine manufacturing plants, rubber based units
etc are coming up. Investments to the tune of 500-600 crores
have already been made. Investment proposals of another 500
crores are in the pipeline. Considering the demand of land at Bodhjungnagar, another 500
acres have been identified for acquisition and with this land
it would be an integrated complex of about 1000 acres, the
biggest model destination for investment in the entire north
east. The Industrial Infrastructure Projects like, Growth
Centre, Export Promotion Industrial Park, sector specific
Rubber Park, Food Park etc have been set up. IT Park, Bamboo
Park is coming up.
In terms of investment appeal, for example, with regard to the
quality of human resources and infrastructure, Agartala, the
state capital, is on a par with major Indian cities, or even
surpasses cities in other North Eastern states. The State
offers the finest in Infrastructure,
excellent educational facilities, quality trained manpower, a
professional work ethic and a conducive business environment.
So it is not surprising that the investors are enormously
interested in the city.
