Assam Becomes India’s 3rd Fastest Growing State with 7.94% GDP Growth

In an important economic milestone, Assam has emerged as the third fastest rising state in India, registering an imposing Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth rate of 7.94 percent at constant prices. 

The state’s strong economic presentation stands as a testament to the strategic improvements and development-driven governance accepted over the past few years.

The growth, which was once measured unthinkable, reflects a broader alteration happening in Assam’s economic landscape. Government officials credit the attainment to a mixture of pro-investor policies, sustained public investment in critical infrastructure, and focused efforts to strengthen organizations and empower individuals.

“Our state’s economy is gaining momentum like never before. What seemed like a distant dream is now a statistical reality. The commitment to invest in infrastructure, reform governance, and support entrepreneurship has begun to yield visible results,” a senior official from the Assam government said.

The rise in GDP has also been supported by large-scale improvements in sectors such as transportation, health, education, agriculture, and skill development. Mega infrastructure projects—like the expansion of highways, bridges, and digital networks—have not only created jobs but also improved connectivity and industrial potential.

Experts believe this economic momentum positions Assam as a key player in India's Act East Policy, enhancing its strategic importance both nationally and in the larger South East Asian context.

With a focus on long-term, inclusive growth, Assam is now setting an example for other states looking to leverage policy reforms and targeted investments to accelerate their development trajectory.
