Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma announced that Assam will set up land banks at the district level to facilitate new industrial projects and attract investors.
Assam's chief minister unveiled a plan to establish land banks in each district, aiming to streamline the allocation of land for upcoming factories and industrial parks. The scheme is intended to reduce procedural delays and provide a clear, ready-to-use inventory of parcels for investors. State officials said the land banks will be managed by district administrations, with regular updates to ensure transparency. By creating a structured repository of land, the government hopes to make Assam a more attractive destination for manufacturing and other large‑scale enterprises. The initiative aligns with broader efforts to accelerate economic growth and generate employment across the state.
