The Honey Processing Unit at Toupokpi in Bishnupur district is nearing completion.
About 75 percent of the work has been completed, said Commerce and Industries Minister Th Biswajit today.
He was answering a question raised by Opposition MLA Govindas Konthoujam during the question hour of the Budget Session today.
The honey processing unit under construction with funding from the Agriculture and Processed Food Products Export Development Authority will be finished within the current financial year.
The construction started in 2016 with Centre's grant-in-aid of Rs 409.23 lakh and State share of Rs 285.08 lakh, he said.
Further, a Detailed Project Report (DPR) is being made to improve/reconstruct a 27.4 kilometres section of road from Wabagai Lamkhai to Sugnu.
The funds for the project may be sanctioned by March, Biswajit said.
