The two agreements, signed with the Government of Assam and the Tea Research Association (TRA) during the Advantage Assam 2.0 Investment and Infrastructure Summit 2025
Auriga Research Private Limited, a trusted Indian leader in Testing, Inspection, and Certification (TIC) services with four decades of excellence, has signed two significant Memoranda of Understanding (MoUs) aimed at strengthening Assam’s food, pharmaceutical, and tea industries. The two agreements, signed with the Government of Assam and the Tea Research Association (TRA) during the Advantage Assam 2.0 Investment and Infrastructure Summit 2025, mark a transformative step toward enhancing quality assurance, regulatory compliance, and global competitiveness for Assam’s industries. The Summit was graced by PM Narendra Modi, who emphasised how Assam is turning out as a pivotal driver of India’s economic growth, highlighting its transformation into a state of unlimited possibilities through important investments and infrastructure development. Further, Assam’s Chief Minister highlighted the state’s investor-friendly policies, infrastructure growth, and a strong commitment to Ease of Doing Business (EoDB). The event also attracted key policymakers and industry leaders, underscoring Assam’s commitment to becoming an industrial hub.
Auriga Research has partnered with the Government of Assam to establish an advanced testing laboratory for food, beverages, pharmaceuticals, Ayurveda, and medical devices. This state-of-the-art facility will be set up in Guwahati or Dibrugarh, with operations expected to commence within nine months. It will cater to both domestic businesses and export-driven industries, ensuring compliance with national and international quality standards.
In another substantial move, Auriga Research signed a landmark MoU with the Tea Research Association (TRA) to enhance Assam’s tea testing infrastructure. Assam contributes nearly 50 per cent of India’s total tea exports, yet small growers and Bought Leaf Factories (BLFs) often struggle with access to affordable, high-quality testing and regulatory compliance services.
