Agartala: Reliance Jio is exploring investment opportunities in Tripura’s Information Technology (IT) sector, Chief Minister Manik Saha announced on Saturday.
A delegation from the company met with the chief minister to discuss the state’s industrial potential and prospective collaborations.
Highlighting his earlier meetings with Mukesh Ambani, chairman and managing director of Reliance Industries, in Mumbai and Assam, Saha shared on Facebook, “I urged him to support our vision for a developed Tripura (Viksit Tripura).”
During the visit, Reliance Jio’s North Eastern Zone Business Head led a team to assess possibilities in key sectors, including IT and IT-enabled services, data centres, natural gas exploration, fertilizer production, bamboo-based ethanol manufacturing, rubber wood furniture, agro-food processing, and tourism.
“Their keen interest in the IT sector is particularly exciting,” Saha said.

“We look forward to collaborating with the Reliance Group of Industries to shape Tripura’s future together.”
This follows the Tripura government’s recent efforts to boost investment, including signing 87 Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs) worth Rs. 3,700 crore during a business summit in February.
Reliance Jio’s potential entry into Tripura is seen as a major step towards industrial growth and technological advancement in the state.
