Tripura is aiming to attract investments worth Rs 1 lakh crore at the two-day Destination Tripura Business Conclave 2026, which begins on July 9 and is expected to bring together around 500 investors from India and abroad.
Chief Minister Manik Saha on Sunday reviewed preparations for the conclave at the International Fair Ground in Hapania, where the event will be held. Union Minister for Development of North Eastern Region (DoNER) Jyotiraditya Scindia is scheduled to attend the summit.
Senior officials, including the Chief Secretary, Director General of Police and secretaries of various departments, participated in the review meeting.
Saha said this year's conclave would be the largest organised by the state so far, prompting the venue to be shifted from a hotel to the International Fair Ground to accommodate the larger number of participants.
"Earlier also, business conclaves used to take place on a small scale, but this time around 500 businessmen are coming here," he said.
According to the chief minister, investors from across the country and overseas are expected to attend, with government departments set to make presentations highlighting investment opportunities across key sectors.

Tripura is targeting investment proposals worth Rs 1 lakh crore, with additional commitments expected in the run-up to the conclave.
Saha said such investment summits would play a crucial role in boosting infrastructure development, generating employment and contributing to the state's Gross State Domestic Product (GSDP).
"We are working on this very seriously," he said, adding that memoranda of understanding worth Rs 30,000 crore were signed during last year's conclave. Of these, projects worth nearly Rs 8,000 crore have already been grounded.
The chief minister also attributed growing investor interest to the state's improved law and order situation.
"When law and order is good, investors are also willing to invest here. Many people have contacted us," he said.
The conclave is expected to showcase Tripura's investment potential across multiple sectors as the state seeks to position itself as an emerging business destination in the Northeast.
