Small manufacturing is the new frontier of business in India and Assam is one of the most promising locations. Unlike many business owners who look to industrial states such as Gujarat or Maharashtra, Assam has one key advantage – it is rich in raw materials, has low business costs, government subsidies and a growing market. The state offers viable and lucrative prospects for first-time entrepreneurs and MSME owners looking to set up a business with a low investment outlay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Recent years have seen a great improvement in the industrial climate in Assam with better infrastructure and favourable policies. The improved transportation, connectivity with other states, and the special financial assistance schemes for the Northeast region makes it now easier to set up a manufacturing unit. Meanwhile, more and more consumers are buying locally-made products, opening up new avenues for small-scale manufacturers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
