Largest hydropower potential in India

• India’s pent-up demand for electricity could be addressed by the state’s potential 60,000 MW hydropower capacity. Currently, several hydro power projects are allocated to private sector players with capacity aggregating 41,702 MW.

Railways as a new means of transport

• The 23 km Harmuti (Assam) to Naharlagun route became operational in April 2014; this has connected the state to the rest of India and provided huge trade and transport opportunities.

Orchid paradise • Arunachal Pradesh is home to 601 species of orchids, or 52 per cent of the species of

orchids known in India, indicating a huge potential for attracting tourists, especially foreign ones.

Carpet making • The state’s textile industry, including carpet making, enjoys a huge appeal. The state’s

carpets have received national and international fame for their creativity, design and quality.

Largest state in Northeast

• Arunachal Pradesh, with an area of 83,743 sq km, is the largest state in the Northeast of India. Its diverse topography offers opportunities for non-timber based industries such as bamboo, cane and medicinal plants.

Cultural diversity • Arunachal Pradesh has the highest number of regional languages in South Asia, enriched

with diverse culture and traditions.

Arunachal Pradesh has about 12,169 km of major district roads. The state had a road density of 178.88 km per 1000 sq km, as of March 2012, while the national average was 1206.29 km per 1000 sq km. Chief Minister Nabam Tuki has announced that all districts, including the far flung areas, would be inter-connected by mid -2017 through good quality roads. Around 1,780.5 km of national highways run through Arunachal Pradesh.

Under Arunachal Pradesh Package for Roads & Highways, in 2009, the central government approved projects for improving 1,472 km of National Highways and 847 km of state roads. This is under the Prime Minister’s package. In October 2013, the central government cleared the 157 km Miao-Vijaynagar project at a cost of US$ 27 million to be completed in four years. As per the Special Accelerated Road Development Programme for North Eastern Region (SARDP-NE), in order to boost growth momentum, 10,141 km of roads are to be redeveloped to improve connectivity of the district headquarters and the remote places of the Northeast region with state capitals. In November 2014, of the total 10,141 km of roads, the Union Road Transport and Highways Ministry approved 6,418 km. In June 2015, the remaining 3,723 km have been approved for preparation of a detailed project report that is scheduled to be completed by 2017. The SARDP-NE envisages providing road connectivity to all district headquarters in the Northeast region with minimum two-lane highway standards.

In January 2014, four more road upgradation projects – the Hunli-Anini, Joram-Koloriang, Akajan-likabali-Bame and Khupa-Hawai sections – were announced at an estimated cost of US$ 734.9 million.

In 2013, the rural development ministry has approved the construction of 95 roads and 31 long-span bridges in the state, covering a length of 1,190 km at a cost of US$ 150 million.

An amount of US$ 25.2 million has been kept aside to construct cement concrete roads with proper drainage across 10 districts.

Construction of a bypass road from Naharlagun to Itanagar via Jully has been approved to reduce traffic congestion between Naharlagun to Itanagar.

In November 2014, the Union Home Ministry submitted a detailed proposal to build nearly 2,000 km of highly strategic all-weather road, overseeing the entire China border in Arunachal Pradesh. The standalone road project between Tawang and Vijaynagar, covering the entire length of Arunachal Pradesh from far east to the western most point, will go along the high ridge of the eastern Himalayas. This project is expected to put India at par with China in terms of border infrastructure.

PHYSICAL INFRASTRUCTURE – AIRPORTS AND RAILWAYS


In the 1980s, air services were provided by Vayudoot, a JV of Indian Airlines and Air India, which ceased operations in 1997. In December 1995, the state government introduced passenger flight services with a fleet of two Pawan Hans helicopters: a nine-seater Dauphin helicopter and a 24-seater MI-172 type helicopter. Initially operating on the Naharlagun (close to Itanagar) to Guwahati and Mohanbari (both in Assam) route, the service currently also connects major local towns, including Tawang, Ziro, Pasighat, Daporijo, Along, Yingkiong, Roing, Tezu, Khonsa, Changlang, Namsai and Anini.

The state’s capital, Itanagar, was put on the country's railway map in April 2014. The state government plans to extend the existing railway connectivity and connect the Upper Assam areas with Arunachal Pradesh. In October 2014, the Union Railway Ministry approved the proposal to connect New Delhi with Naharlagun, 15 km away from Itanagar, with a bi-weekly Rajdhani Express. The project is expected to be operational by April 2018.

Major agro and forest based industries in the state are related to tea, fruit, non-timber and plywood industries. Around two-thirds of the state’s population is dependent on climate sensitive natural resources such as agriculture, forest, biodiversity and water availability.

The state government’s New Agricultural Policy 2001 aims to achieve higher economic growth and create job opportunities for the unemployed in rural areas. The state government is focusing on improving farmer income through higher productivity, use of suitable farm techniques, upgrading technical competency, marketing support and availability of a cooperative credit network.

Non-timber based industries include bamboo, cane, rubber and medicinal plants.

The industry is characterised by many regional players; several units have been set up by the Arunachal Pradesh Forest Corporation (APFC), a government organisation.

Horticulture has a vast potential, owing to good agro-climatic conditions and topography, for the development of varied varieties of fruits and vegetables.
