Thimphu: Bhutan's bid to attract investors via recent Investment Roadshows held in Delhi, Mumbai and IT city Bengaluru generated a strong interest from the Indian business community, local media in Thimphu reported on Thursday.
According to the country's Department of Industry (DoI), the event successfully showcased Bhutan's investment potential in four key sectors: tourism and wellness, agro-based production, forest-based industries, and IT and IT-enabled services (ITES). The roadshows were held in collaboration with the Bhutanese Embassy in India and the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII).
"Many Indian investors, particularly in Mumbai and Bangalore, were previously unaware of Bhutan's investment potential. The event served as an introduction to Bhutan's policies, business environment, and opportunities," said a DoI official.
India and Bhutan enjoy special ties of friendship and cooperation which are characterized by mutual understanding and trust. India is also the biggest source of investment in the landlocked country. Traditional high-level exchanges between the two countries are an important hallmark of the special partnership. (IANS)
