Introduction:
Arunachal Pradesh, the “Land of Dawn-Lit Mountains”, is the largest northeastern State which spans
across a massive 83,743 sq. km, with vast untapped economic potential. It has a forest cover of 79.33%,
making it one of the world’s 12 mega biodiversity hotspots. The state shares borders with Myanmar (520 km),
and Bhutan (217 km) and comprises 28 districts, reflecting its cultural diversity.
Arunachal Pradesh boasts of immense hydropower potential, estimated at 58,000 MW, positioning it as
a strategic player in India’s energy sector. The state's installed hydropower stands at 1,270 MW, with several
key milestone projects nearing completion, which will allow substantial achievement of its potential capacity.
In addition to this, the State offers attractive energy tariffs, fostering investment in sectors such as
manufacturing, textiles, steel and sustainable farming. Industrial tariffs range from ` 3.35 to ` 4.30 per unit,
while agricultural/BPL household tariffs are as low as ` 2.65 per unit, promoting Agri-Tech initiatives. Competitive
bulk tariffs of ` 3.25-` 3.75 per unit present lucrative opportunities for power-intensive industries.

Arunachal Pradesh is a youth dominated state and has a literacy rate of 66.95%, allowing the creation
of a skilled and employable work pool. Resulting in the proactive initiatives of the Government of Arunachal
Pradesh has been implementing key initiatives for the up-skilling and employability of its eligible workforce.
The State currently has a network of Polytechnics, nursing institutes, ITIs, along with State and private
Universities and one NIT operational in the State. These institutions offer trainings in over 23 different trades/
vocations, with a total yearly intake capacity around 2500 candidates.
Infrastructure development has been pivotal to Arunachal Pradesh's growth, with major focus being directed
towards connectivity of the established industrial estates/ areas in the State. The Nechiphu and Sela Tunnels
have significantly improved connectivity of West Kameng and Tawang to-and-from mainland Assam.
The Donyi Polo Airport in Itanagar, inaugurated in 2022 has opened opportunities through air connectivity in
the State. The Niglok Industrial Estate, being a major industrial establishment for the State is well connected
with Assam, located near to the Dibrugarh International Airport, which is a major connectivity hub. In addition,
the operational airport in Tezu and Pasighat is posed to enhance last mile connectivity even further. Road
connectivity in and around the State has also advanced, with a 9-fold increase in construction speed, a 64%
rise in road length and a 143% expansion in the National Highway network. The State has 9 identified and
operational industrial areas and another 9 industrial estates facilitating establishment of industrial infrastructure
in the State.
Arunachal Pradesh's proactive policies, abundant natural resources and strategic initiatives make it a
hub for sustainable development and investment. By leveraging its biodiversity, hydropower capacity and
infrastructure progress, the state is emerging as a key destination for economic growth and opportunity.

Infrastructure plays a pivotal role in driving industrial development within the state. The availability of
quality infrastructure enables industries to establish operations with lower capital investment and function
efficiently without disruptions.
Beyond facilitating economic expansion, robust industrial infrastructure contributes to social development,
employment generation and increased investment inflow. Recognizing its significance, Arunachal Pradesh is
on its way to strengthen its industrial infrastructure and facilitate smooth industry sustenance of industrial
infrastructure. The Government of Arunachal Pradesh aims to prioritize the development of essential infrastructure
to create a favourable investment climate.
3.1
Land:

to develop these and provide basic infrastructure for the ease of industries.
Land can also be leased in private lands for industrial purpose on the terms specified in Chapter 5.
3.2
Railways:
Arunachal Pradesh is expanding its railway network to enhance logistics and last-mile connectivity.
With 26 km of railway tracks and five rail goods sheds, key projects such as Murkongselek-Pasighat (26 km),
Pasighat-Tezu-Rupai (218 km), Silapathar-Bame-Along (96 km), and Misamari-Tawang (201 km) will improve
access to industrial clusters. A 6,000 sqm world-class station at Pasighat will strengthen rail-road connectivity.
The Murkongselek-Pasighat broad gauge (BG) route, particularly the 8-km stretch from Ruksin (NH 515) to
Niglok (first phase), will enhance access to the Niglok Industrial Zone in East Siang.
3.3
Power:
The Arunachal Pradesh offers power to the industries at the most competitive rates in the region. For
present Power tariff rates, refer to the notification issued from the Arunachal Pradesh State Electricity Regulatory
Commission. The state is striving to further improve quality of power by prioritizing dedicated feeder and power
lines upto 132 kV in the industrial estate.

Airways:
Arunachal Pradesh currently has four operational airports located in Hollongi, Tezu, Pasighat and Ziro,
facilitating air connectivity in the region. Additionally, the State is equipped with seven Advanced Landing
Grounds (ALGs) that serve as strategic assets for logistical movement to border areas. Furthermore, there
are 25 existing helipads across the State, enhancing aerial accessibility. To further strengthen its aviation
infrastructure, Arunachal Pradesh has proposed the development of two new airports at Richi Village in Upper
Subansiri and Termoba in West Siang. Moreover, the ALGs at Walong, Tuting, Mechuka and Vijoynagar have
been proposed for civilian operations, contributing to improved connectivity and regional development.
