The Manipur Excise Department has collected Rs 29 crore in revenue from March to date, according to Chief Minister Khemchand Singh.
Manipur's Excise Department reported that it has generated a total of Rs 29 crore in revenue since the start of the fiscal year in March, as disclosed by Chief Minister Khemchand Singh. The figure reflects collections from excise duties, primarily on alcoholic beverages and other taxable goods, which form a significant part of the state's non‑tax revenue.
The chief minister highlighted that the department's performance contributes to the state's fiscal consolidation efforts and supports funding for public welfare schemes. He also urged the department to maintain transparency and efficiency in future collections.
State officials indicated that the revenue target for the current financial year remains on track, and the department will continue its monitoring and enforcement activities to sustain the inflow of excise duties.
The announcement comes amid broader efforts by the Manipur government to boost its financial resources and improve service delivery across sectors.
Analysts note that steady excise revenue can help the state manage budgetary pressures, especially in areas such as health, education, and infrastructure development.
