Tally on mobile for businesses in Arunachal Pradesh

Arunachal Pradesh is a large, thinly populated mountain state where government spending, construction and hydropower projects drive much of the economy. Agriculture includes rice, oranges, kiwi and cardamom, and forest produce is significant. Most manufactured goods are brought in from Assam.

Goods typically come into the state from Assam towns such as Guwahati, Tezpur, North Lakhimpur and Dibrugarh, then move by road to Itanagar, Naharlagun and district headquarters. Itanagar's distributors supply a wide but sparse retail network. Long distances and road conditions mean higher stock levels and longer credit cycles than in the plains.
