In August 2026, Tripura Chief Minister Manik Saha reported that the state reached 86.52% piped water coverage for households, a substantial increase from 3.24% in 2019. To address supply issues in remote hilly areas, the government is utilizing alternative methods such as pumping water from streams and springs.

By mid-September 2026, the state's focus expanded to economic development, with the government processing over 158 investment project proposals. Following the Destination Tripura Business Conclave 2026, officials were instructed to implement a 100-day plan to ground feasible projects and increase the state's Gross State Domestic Product (GSDP). The Chief Secretary is tasked with conducting monthly progress reviews to ensure these targets are met.

On September 27, 2026, Chief Minister Saha identified tourism as a vital factor for economic progress and youth employment. He noted that the government has focused on renovating temples, historical sites, and tourist destinations to increase visitor numbers. To support this sector, the state is working to improve infrastructure and services while focusing on skill development and training for local communities. Saha highlighted that tourism growth will further boost the GSDP, noting that Tripura already ranks second among northeastern states in terms of GSDP.
