Mizoram, a northeastern state bordering Bangladesh and Myanmar, serves as a strategic gateway to Southeast Asia, supported by improving road, rail and air connectivity. The state’s economy is modest but steadily growing, with GSDP projected at US$ 4.2 billion in 2025-26 and a strong NSDP growth trend. Mizoram offers a highly literate workforce, robust teledensity, and strengths in sericulture, bamboo-based industries, horticulture and organic products. Infrastructure has received a major boost with the inauguration of the Bairabi–Sairang railway line, new energy and LPG projects, and planned urban developments such as Thenzawl Peace City. Policy support through schemes like Bana Kaih, along with focused budget allocations for education, health, energy and agriculture, positions Mizoram as a niche investment destination in agro-processing, bamboo, sericulture, tourism and cross-border trade.
