Manipur has got many areas of strength & opportunities that justify

investment in the state.

The state has abundant natural resources that offer potential for the

development of infrastructure & industrial sectors.

The existing Indo-Myanmar border trade currently underway in the

border towns of Moreh & Tamu enables a full-scale trade relationship

between India & Myanmar, which would further extend to other

adjacent countries.

Production and trading units can flourish, taking advantage of the

expanding international trade.

There are also opportunities for investment in creating infrastructure

facilities in the areas of road construction, power generation,

developed industrial areas, water facilities, IT services, etc.

The Manipur Industrial Development Corporation Ltd. (MANIDCO) is

responsible for industrial development in the state.

Other important corporations include Manipur Handloom & Handicrafts

Development Corporation Ltd. (MHHDCL), Manipur State Information

Technology Society (MSITS), Manipur Electronic Development

Corporation Ltd. (MANITRON) & Manipur Food Industries Corporation

KEY INDUSTRIES – FOOD PROCESSING … (1/2)

The food processing industry is a major thrust sector of Manipur. The state’s agro climatic conditions are most suited for food processing industry.

Favoured by agro-climatic conditions, Manipur produces a variety of fruits, vegetables, cereals, pulses, spices, etc. suitable for processing & with

potential for export. The food processing sector plays a significant role in diversification & commercialisation of agriculture, horticulture, fisheries,

poultry, animal husbandry & forest resources.

Prospective mobilisation of this sector is mainly concerned with the raw material resources and its potential for future expansion, improvement of

infrastructure, investment ability and up-gradation of technology.

Magfruit, Ratna, Sana, Manifru, Likla, Kangla Foods, Heirang, Chandani & Waifruit are some of the locally popular brand names in this industry.

Freshly packed pineapple & passion fruit, pulp, juice, toffee concentrate, lemon & orange juice, ginger oil, ginger lime, mushrooms & fresh in brine

or canned dry bamboo shoots, are some of the well known products of Manipur.

Schemes like Technology Mission for Integrated Development of Horticulture with the objective of improving production & productivity of

horticultural crops by harnessing the potential of the region make this field a viable option for commercialisation as well as marketing.

During 2007-2017, the total number of projects sanctioned for the establishment & endorsement of food processing industries under various

schemes are mentioned below:

• Under Integrated Cold Chain, Value Addition & Preservation Infrastructure Scheme as well as Food Testing Laboratory Scheme, 1 project each

was sanctioned.

• 72 projects were sanctioned under Technology upgradation/establishment/modernization of Food Processing Industries Scheme & 37 projects

were sanctioned under National Mission on Food Processing Scheme (NMFP).

KEY INDUSTRIES – BAMBOO PROCESSING…(1/2)

Notes: Ministry of Industries

Three common facility centres for bamboo processing have been established at Tamenglong, Churachandpur and Imphal. Government of

Manipur is taking up a Bamboo Technology Park at Kadamtala, Jiribam with an estimated cost of US$ 104.3 million. The park is in construction

the local as well as international markets.

Edible wild growths of bamboo shoots are available in Chandel, Bishnupur and Tamenglong districts of the state.

Government of Manipur has proposed to provide a training programme for bamboo-based industries in the trades of bamboo blinds, furniture

making, bamboo charcoal and briquette making etc.

Some activities taken up by the Department of Commerce & Industries for promotion of bamboo-based Industries include

• Establishment of common facility centres (CFCs) for bamboo-based production.

• Construction of dome-shaped brick kilns for bamboo charcoal production.

• Recognising the resources of bamboo in the state of Manipur, in general and Jiribam of Imphal East District in particular, the Government of

Manipur is planning to set up a bamboo technology park at Jiribam.

• With the aim to upgrade the skills of bamboo artisans, a bamboo technology course is being introduced in the existing Departmental Arts and

KEY INDUSTRIES – HYDRO POWER … (1/2)

Manipur has a hydro power potential of about 2,000 MW, which is sufficient not only to meet the local requirement for domestic and industrial uses

but to also generate a surplus for marketing outside. Thus, the state government has chosen this sector as a thrust area for development. During

August 2017, the total hydro power capacity recorded by the state was 88.93 MW.

The Loktak Hydro Electric Project (3x35 MW) commissioned in 1984 is Manipur’s main source of power.

The government sees hydropower as a major industry and has given top-priority consideration to developing the state's hydropower potential. In

view of this goal, it has decided to invite private investors in the hydropower generation industry.

Currently, the state’s power department has identified several local hydropower project sites:

• Pabram HE Project: A storage scheme that aims to utilise the inflow of Barak River. It is located near Tamenglong Khunjao in Tamenglong

District, Manipur.

• Irang HE Project: A storage scheme located near Taobam village on NH-53 in Tamenglong District.

• Tuivai HE Project: A storage scheme located near Dailkhai village in Thanlon Sub-division of Churachandpur District.

• Nungleiband HE Project: A run-of-the-river scheme that aims to utilise the tail race discharge from the existing Loktak HE Project and the inflow

of the Leimatak River. It is proposed to be taken up near Nungleiband village in Tamenglong District.

• Khongnem Chakha Project: It is located near Maram Centre in Senapati District, Manipur.

Other projects include Tipiamukh HE Project located near Manipur-Mizoram border, Maklang-Tuyungbi HE Project located near Khonglo village

under Kasom Khullen sub-division of Ukhrul district.
