The National Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development (NABARD) has projected a priority sector credit potential of ₹14,034.02 crore for Tripura for the financial year 2026–27, laying out a strategic framework to accelerate inclusive and sustainable economic growth. The projection was presented in the State Focus Paper (SFP) at a State Credit Seminar convened in Agartala.
According to the SFP, agriculture and allied activities are expected to receive ₹5,154.56 crore, underscoring their centrality to the state’s rural economy. The MSME sector has been allocated ₹6,028.08 crore, reflecting its growing role as a driver of employment generation and industrial expansion. A further ₹2,851.36 crore has been earmarked for other priority segments, including housing, education, renewable energy, social infrastructure, and informal credit channels. The document aims to guide banks in formulating realistic and sector-responsive Annual Credit Plans to ensure an efficient and targeted flow of institutional finance.
The seminar was chaired by Apurba Roy, Secretary of Finance and Agriculture & Farmers’ Welfare, Government of Tripura, who emphasized the necessity of channeling credit toward agricultural modernization, technological integration, and infrastructure augmentation to mitigate post-harvest losses and enhance farmers’ incomes.
Anil S. Kotmire, General Manager and Officer-in-Charge of NABARD Tripura, stressed the importance of consolidating agricultural strength while simultaneously fostering MSMEs as pillars of balanced regional development. He highlighted emerging initiatives such as cluster-based piggery development and advocated intensified support for poultry, fisheries, and allied sectors to realize the state’s long-term developmental aspirations.
Senior officials from the Reserve Bank of India and the State Level Bankers’ Committee urged banks to align district-level credit strategies with NABARD’s projections to maximize developmental impact.
The seminar concluded with a collective resolve among government departments, financial institutions, FPOs, and civil society organizations to translate the projected credit roadmap into tangible economic progress and strengthened rural livelihoods across Tripura.
