“I am of the firm belief that if Assam can house an automobile manufacturing ecosystem, we could transform the socio-economic landscape of the North East,” Sarma posted on X. “With easy access to India’s $100 billion auto industry and that of South East Asia, Assam offers unparalleled advantages.”
“Today, during my meeting with CEOs and leaders from South Korea’s automobile ancillary firms, I have offered them the unstinted support of our state, should they choose to build a base in Assam,” he added.
Sarma further spoke about Assam’s investor-friendly policies at the meeting, noting that participation in Advantage Assam 2.0 would foster mutually beneficial partnerships between South Korean businesses and the state. He engaged with over 140 South Korean business leaders for the same.
