East India Summit 2025, an initiative of the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII), is the flagship platform dedicated to unlocking the vast economic potential of Eastern India. Now in its 4th edition, the summit brings together state governments, policymakers, industry leaders, investors, and thought leaders to foster collaboration, showcase investment opportunities, and accelerate sustainable regional development.

As India progresses toward the vision of Viksit Bharat @2047—a $30 trillion economy with a per capita income of $18,000—the Eastern Region, comprising nearly 30% of India's population but contributing only 16.5% to national GDP, is poised to become a critical engine of inclusive and balanced national growth.

The region has already demonstrated significant momentum. Exports from Eastern India have grown at a CAGR of 10% between 2019 and 2024, and its rich mineral resources make it a cornerstone of India's resource-driven economy.

The five key states—West Bengal, Odisha, Bihar, Jharkhand, and Chhattisgarh—each bring unique strengths and opportunities:

• West Bengal: Emerging as a trade and investment gateway for Eastern and Northeast India.
• Odisha: A resource-rich state powering industrial growth, especially in steel and mining.
• Bihar: Rapidly industrializing with high agri-potential and a growing consumer base.
• Jharkhand: Known for mining, it is witnessing a manufacturing surge.
• Chhattisgarh: A hub for power and heavy industries, central to India's energy roadmap.

Through active engagement with state governments and strategic partnerships, CII is committed to building an enabling ecosystem for private sector growth, innovation, and infrastructure development.

This landmark summit will position Eastern India as a premier investment destination—bridging potential investors with state governments and catalyzing a more inclusive, regionally balanced economic future.

The summit will feature a high-impact Inaugural Session, followed by Exclusive State Sessions, where each participating state will showcase their policies and investment opportunities.

Join us in bridging potential with performance—and shaping a dynamic, regionally balanced economic future for India.
