Reliance Industries Limited (RIL) has announced plans to invest over ₹50,000 crore in Assam over the next five years, Chairman and MD Mukesh Ambani revealed at the Advantage Assam 2.0 Investment & Infrastructure Summit 2025 in Guwahati.
Ambani emphasized Reliance’s long-term vision for Assam’s development, especially in the technology and digital sectors. “In the coming years, Reliance will more than quadruple its investment in Assam to over ₹50,000 crore,” he stated.
Recalling the company’s earlier pledge of ₹5,000 crore at the 2018 summit, Ambani highlighted that Reliance has already exceeded ₹12,000 crore in investments in the state. He underlined the company’s mission to make Assam “tech-ready and AI-ready,” calling the state’s digital transformation a “noble and patriotic mission.”
Ambani praised Jio’s role in modernizing Assam’s telecom infrastructure, making it “2G-mukt and 5G-yukt” (free from 2G and empowered with 5G), and expressed gratitude to the people of Assam for embracing Jio.
He credited Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s leadership for transforming Assam’s development landscape and identified four key advantages the state has gained under Modi’s governance:
- Strategic Importance: Assam and the Northeast have moved from the periphery to the center of India’s development map.
- Act East Vision: Assam now acts as a gateway for rapid growth and regional collaboration with Southeast and East Asia.
- Unprecedented Connectivity: Assam has seen revolutionary progress in physical, digital, and emotional connectivity with the rest of India.
- Technology-Driven Growth: Assam is poised to evolve from a global tea paradise to a technological powerhouse in the coming decades.
With Reliance’s massive investment, Assam is set for unprecedented growth in digital infrastructure, artificial intelligence, and overall economic development, positioning itself as a key hub for innovation and opportunity.
