India's top conglomerates pledged to invest more than ₹2 trillion in Assam over the next three to five years across sectors.

Reliance Industries Ltd, Adani Group, and Vedanta Group promised to invest ₹50,000 crore each, while the Tata Group pledged to invest ₹25,000 crore during the Advantage Assam 2.0 Investment and Infrastructure Summit that kicked off on Tuesday.
