In October 2025, Assam's government rescinded its flagship clean energy policy introduced earlier in the year.

The foundation stone ceremony is planned for November 10, with hopes to invite Prime Minister Narendra Modi for the inauguration.
The Assam government has implemented reductions in Goods and Services Tax (GST) rates for various products, including tea, juices, pickles, and sauces.
