Two of India’s biggest business leaders, Mukesh Ambani and Gautam Adani, have promised major investments in the North-East region of the country. They made these announcements at the Rising Northeast Investors Summit 2025 held in New Delhi at Bharat Mandapam.
Mukesh Ambani’s Rs 75,000 Crore Investment
Mukesh Ambani, Chairman of Reliance Industries, said his company will invest Rs 75,000 crore in the Northeast. He believes the region has great potential and could become as successful as Singapore in the future.
Reliance has already invested Rs 30,000 crore over the last 40 years in the Northeast. Now, they are planning to more than double that amount.

Here are the key points from Ambani’s plan:
- Employment: The investment aims to create 2.5 million jobs, both directly and indirectly.
- Jio Network: Jio already covers 90% of the region with 5 million 5G users. The goal is to double the number of users within a year.
- Artificial Intelligence (AI): Reliance wants to bring AI to schools, hospitals, homes, and businesses.
- Retail and Agriculture: They will buy more farm produce and vegetables from local farmers and invest in FMCG (Fast Moving Consumer Goods) factories.
- Green Energy: Reliance will build solar power projects and 350 biogas plants, using empty land productively.
- Healthcare:
- A 150-bed cancer hospital will be set up in Manipur.
- Reliance Foundation is also working with Mizoram University on breast cancer research using genetics.
- A major diagnostics and genome research lab has already been built in Guwahati, which will help make the region a healthcare hub.
Gautam Adani’s Rs 50,000 Crore Investment
Gautam Adani, Chairman of Adani Group, also shared plans to invest Rs 50,000 crore in the Northeast over the next 10 years.

Adani said the region has strong potential but hasn’t been fully explored yet. He praised Prime Minister Modi’s “Act East” policy, which focuses on the development of Northeast India and improving ties with Southeast Asia.
The Adani Group will focus on:
- Building roads, ports, and logistics systems
- Energy projects
- Better internet and digital connectivity
These huge investments show that top Indian companies see a bright future for the Northeast. The government’s Act East Policy is helping the region connect better with neighboring Southeast Asian countries, and these business moves support that vision.
