According to the chief minister of Assam, the capital expenditure for the fiscal year 2024–2025 has increased to Rs 24,964 crore. “Assam is going to start its own OTT platform. This year, we are spending Rs 25,000 crore on capital projects, up from only Rs 3000 crore over the previous ten years. The state of Assam is very delicate. We want to prevent any form of disruption to the community.
Due to several challenging situations, we prohibited the transfer of land between religions last year. Interreligious land sales and purchases are now permitted. However, this will only take place with the state government’s consent, allowing us to carefully review and analyze each request before granting authorization,” he said.
The Assam economic story would get additional impetus with the state budget of Rs 2.63 lakh crore for 2025–2026.
