Guwahati, Feb 24: Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Monday, February 23, stated that the state government had begun converting investment commitments made during Advantage Assam 2.0 into concrete projects, describing the inauguration of HDFC Bank’s Tech & Digital Factory as a significant milestone in Assam’s economic progress.
In a major boost to the state’s digital and financial infrastructure, Sarma inaugurated the Tech & Digital Factory and termed it a tangible outcome of the Memorandums of Understanding signed during the investment summit. He said the government had been closely monitoring the implementation of the commitments made at Advantage Assam 2.0 to ensure timely execution.
Calling the inauguration a major achievement, the Chief Minister said many promises made during the summit had already started materialising. He cited the newly launched facility as a prime example of how investment announcements were being translated into action within a year.
Referring to the summit, Sarma noted that the Tech & Digital Factory had been among the proposals highlighted during Advantage Assam 2.0 and said its completion within a year demonstrated the administration’s focus on time-bound delivery. He emphasised that the government was determined to ensure that MoUs did not remain limited to documentation but resulted in visible development on the ground.
The Chief Minister added that the new digital facility would strengthen Assam’s footprint in banking technology and the fintech ecosystem, create employment opportunities and advance the state’s ambition of emerging as a technology-driven growth hub in the Northeast.
The inauguration also reflected growing investor confidence in Assam’s business environment, with the government projecting Advantage Assam 2.0 as a catalyst for industrial expansion, digital transformation and enhanced private sector participation.
