Addressing the gathering virtually, Kiran Gitte, Secretary of Industries & Commerce, reiterated the state’s commitment to a transparent ecosystem. He mentioned that the administration focuses on policy reforms and time-bound approvals to ensure a seamless experience for new ventures.
“Tripura is steadily emerging as a preferred investment destination due to its improving connectivity and responsive governance structure,” Gitte stated.
