Introduction
In this final article (Part 7) of our ‘Zonal Analytics’ series, we turn the spotlight on the building construction landscape of the Northeast Zone during FY 2024–25. Utilising Biltrax’s BX-1 platform, the analysis offers a detailed look at the region’s development activity across various sectors. These include residential, commercial, retail, hospitality, healthcare, data centers, educational institutions, multi-level car parks, entertainment hubs, religious buildings, and other miscellaneous structures.
During FY 2024–25, the Northeast zone made notable progress in strengthening its building construction landscape. State Governments, with support from the Ministry of Development of North Eastern Region (DoNER), rolled out targeted initiatives across education, urban development, tourism, and energy sectors. These efforts aimed to improve regional connectivity, boost economic activity, and enhance quality of life.
Aligned with its broader vision, DoNER actively monitored and supported projects that advanced the region’s development goals. For the fiscal year, the ministry received a budget allocation of nearly 5,900 INR-Crore to fast-track priority interventions and foster long-term transformation across the eight northeastern states.
