AB  - In this paper, two new aggregation operators based on Choquet integral, namely 
      the induced generalized interval neutrosophic Choquet integral average 
      operator(IGINCIA) and the induced generalized interval neutrosophic Choquet 
      integral geometric operator(IG-INCIG), are proposed for multi-criteria decision 
      making problems (MCDM). Firstly, the criteria are dependent to each other and the 
      evaluation information of the criteria are expressed by interval neutrosophic 
      numbers. Moreover, two indices which are inspired by the geometrical structure 
      are established to compare the interval neutrosophic numbers. Then, a MCDM method 
      is proposed based on the proposed aggregation operators and ranking indices to 
      cope with MCDM with interactive criteria. Lastly, an investment decision making 
      problem is provided to illustrate the practicality and effectiveness of the 
      proposed approach. The validity and advantages of the proposed method are 
      analyzed by comparing with some existing approaches. By a numerical example in 
      company investment to expand business though five alternatives with considering 
      four criteria, the optimal decision is made.
