The Assam cabinet has sanctioned a pact for five new ropeway projects, with two slated for the capital city of Guwahati, aiming to boost tourism and connectivity.
The Assam cabinet met on Monday and approved a pact that will see the launch of five new ropeway projects across the state. Two of these projects are planned for the capital city of Guwahati, while the remaining three will be situated in other key tourist spots.
The ropeways are expected to provide a safer and faster mode of transport for visitors, reducing travel time between popular attractions and easing congestion on roads. The projects are part of a broader initiative to enhance tourism infrastructure and promote sustainable travel options.
State officials said the decision follows a detailed feasibility study that highlighted the economic and environmental benefits of ropeway systems. The projects will also create employment opportunities during construction and operation phases.
The cabinet directed the Department of Tourism to finalize project details and tender processes, with an anticipated launch window in the next two years.
