Mizoram Tuesday organised its first ever industry summit to harness the resources of the state in a bid to woo investors to set up projects in the industry-starved northeastern state. Addressing the summit, state Industries Minister S. Hiato said, \u201cMizoram, one of the most peaceful states in northeastern India, is blessed with natural resources which are still under-utilised.\u201d He stressed the need to harness the industrial potential of the state for boosting the economy of the mountainous state. \u201cMizoram has an excellent climate for investment coupled with central government schemes for industrial promotion such as transport and capital subsidy, central excise and income tax exemption. Investors and industrial houses can take all those scopes and benefits,\u201d the minister stated. Indian Chamber of Commerce (ICC), union Ministry of Development of Northeastern Region (DoNER) and the Mizoram government\u2019s industries department jointly organised the one-day \u201cIndustries summit on investment opportunity in Mizoram.\u201d Around 30 industrialists, investors and influential functionaries of different companies across the country, whose interests ranged from power, cement, hotel and hospitality, education and skill development, agro and forest based and food processing sectors, took part in the summit. Mizoram Parliamentary Secretary H. Zothangliana, chief Secretary Vanhela Pachuau and Industry Department Secretary R.L. Rinawma spoke about the different potential sectors that are available for investment in Mizoram.

According to an official document of the Mizoram government, the northeastern state has a potential to generate 3,500 MW hydel power from its rivers. \u201cThe state government is open to private companies for undertaking power projects in Mizoram and has drawn up a policy for private investment in the power sector,\u201d the official document said. Currently, Mizoram has no major or medium-scale industry. <\/p>\n
