Assam’s Economic Shift: Can High-Tech Industry Complement Tea’s Legacy? #NDTV

While the upcoming semiconductor plant in Jagiroad and growing infrastructure projects signal a new industrial push, experts pointed out that traditional sectors like tea still employ nearly a million people and remain central to livelihoods. Rising costs, labour shortages and climate challenges are pushing the tea industry toward transformation through value-added products and modern technologies.

The discussion also highlighted a growing entrepreneurial culture among Assam’s youth, improved connectivity through expanding airports, and increasing private investment in sectors such as tourism, power and hospitality. Panelists agreed that while high-tech industries represent the future, revitalising traditional sectors and generating large-scale employment will remain key to Assam’s sustainable economic growth.
