Japan Eyes Northeast India, But Investment Hinges on Infrastructure and Skilled Manpower

Despite recurring diplomatic engagements and decades-long cultural affinity, Japanese investment in Northeast India remains largely symbolic, with tangible business commitments yet to materialize. During an exclusive interview with Pankhi Sarma of Business North East, Rajeev Gupta, Chairman of the Indo-Japan Business Council for Northeast India, offered an unvarnished assessment of the current Indo-Japan business landscape in the region, highlighting the gaps, progress, and potential.

Gupta, who has been working at the intersection of Indo-Japan relations and Northeast India’s economic development, confirmed that a high-level Japanese delegation visited Assam from May 3 to May 5, 2025. The delegation, led by the Speaker of the Japanese Diet, included over 30 businessmen representing sectors such as medical equipment, semiconductors, and skill development.

“At this stage, it was more of an exploratory visit to understand the ecosystem, infrastructure, and opportunities in Assam,” Gupta said, noting that no immediate investment commitments were announced.
