Arunachal Pradesh has recorded an 18% year-on-year growth in Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) inflows for the first three quarters of FY2024-25, attracting Rs 3,200 crore compared to Rs 2,712 crore in the same period of the previous fiscal year. The data, released by the Department of Industrial Policy and Investment Promotion (DIPP), places Arunachal among the fastest-growing states in the North-East for FDI attraction.
Japanese companies led the FDI inflows with Rs 1,400 crore, primarily in the hydropower and road construction sectors. Mitsubishi Corporation expanded its presence with a Rs 600 crore investment in the Dibang Valley multipurpose project. South Korean firms contributed Rs 800 crore, with Hyundai Engineering announcing a technical collaboration for smart city infrastructure in Itanagar.
Industries Minister Tumke Bagra attributed the growth to the state's proactive investment facilitation. "We have established dedicated Japan and Korea desks within our investment promotion agency. Every inquiry receives a response within 48 hours, and we assign relationship managers to guide investors through the entire approval process," the minister told reporters.
