New Delhi, November 5, 2025  Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma met Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday to invite him to inaugurate two major development projects in the state – the new terminal at Guwahati’s Lokpriya Gopinath Bordoloi International (LGBI) Airport and the ₹10,601-crore brownfield Ammonia-Urea complex at Namrup. The meeting, which lasted around 20 minutes at the Prime Minister’s official residence, was focused on showcasing Assam’s progress and seeking PM Modi’s presence for the dedication of these transformative initiatives.

Taking to X after the meeting, Sarma expressed his gratitude and said that the Prime Minister has agreed to dedicate both projects to the people of Assam. The CM highlighted that these developments will significantly enhance connectivity and industrial growth in the Northeast.

The new Guwahati airport terminal is designed to handle over 1.3 crore passengers annually, addressing congestion at the existing facility and establishing Guwahati as a major aviation hub for the region. The terminal incorporates modern design elements, sustainable infrastructure, and improved passenger amenities, positioning Guwahati as the gateway to Southeast Asia and improving overall travel experience.

The Namrup Ammonia-Urea complex, with an investment of ₹10,601 crore, aims to ensure a consistent supply of fertilisers for the entire Northeast. The facility is expected to increase agricultural productivity and provide a boost to the region’s industrial base, marking a key milestone in Assam’s economic development.

Sarma stated that both projects reflect the central government’s continued focus on Assam and the Northeast under the leadership of PM Modi. He emphasized that these initiatives symbolize Assam’s transformative journey, focusing on connectivity, industrial growth, and self-reliance.

The CM’s invitation and the upcoming projects are seen as a major step in strengthening the Northeast’s infrastructure and economic profile, with the new airport terminal and the Namrup plant expected to bring long-term benefits to the region and its people.
