Assam Approves ₹477 Crore Riverfront Convention Centre Project to Strengthen Guwahati’s MICE and Tourism Infrastructure

Guwahati is set to witness a major infrastructure boost with the development of a ₹477 crore Convention Centre-cum-State Guest House along the Brahmaputra riverfront, reinforcing Assam’s efforts to expand tourism, hospitality, and business event infrastructure in Northeast India.

The upcoming project is expected to emerge as a significant landmark for the state, combining world-class convention facilities with premium hospitality and accommodation services tailored for government delegations, business travellers, international visitors, and dignitaries.

Strategically located on the banks of the Brahmaputra River, the integrated complex is being designed to host international conferences, business summits, exhibitions, cultural programmes, and major government events. The riverfront setting is also anticipated to enhance Guwahati’s appeal as an emerging destination for Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, and Exhibitions (MICE).

According to officials, the project will feature modern convention halls, meeting spaces, hospitality infrastructure, and accommodation facilities built to international standards, strengthening Assam’s capacity to host large-scale national and global events.

The initiative aligns with the Assam government’s broader strategy to modernise urban infrastructure, promote tourism-driven growth, and establish Guwahati as a key economic and cultural gateway to Northeast India.

Recent investments in riverfront development, transportation networks, and cultural infrastructure have further accelerated the city’s transformation and growth trajectory.

Officials also noted that the project is expected to generate employment opportunities, support the hospitality sector, boost tourism activity, and stimulate long-term economic growth across the region.
