The 2026-27 Assam budget allocates Rs 10,000 crore to the AsomMala IV project and outlines plans for high‑speed road corridors across the state.
The Assam government presented its 2026-27 budget on Thursday, setting aside Rs 10,000 crore for the second phase of the AsomMala infrastructure programme, known as AsomMala IV. The allocation is aimed at expanding road connectivity, bridges and related assets in the state’s hinterland.
In addition to the AsomMala funding, the budget documents detail the creation of high‑speed corridors linking major urban centres such as Guwahati, Jorhat, Silchar and Dibrugarh. These corridors are expected to reduce travel time, boost trade and attract private investment.
Finance Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma said the combined initiatives will strengthen Assam’s role as a gateway to the Northeast and improve logistics for industries ranging from tea to tourism. The projects are slated to commence in the next financial year, with implementation overseen by the state’s Public Works Department and relevant agencies.
