The minister gave the assurance to Nagaland people as the chief guest of Moatsu festival celebration at Kangtsung village in Mokokchung district of the state.
He said activities for economic development would have to gain momentum in the state and for the revival of NPPC Ltd the matter would be discussed with the ministry concerned.
NPPC was incorporated in 1971 as a joint venture between the state government and Hindustan Paper Corporation Limited (A Government of India Enterprise) to manufacture writing, printing and Kraft paper with an installed capacity of 100 tonnes per day at Tuli in Mokokchung district.
The production activities of NPPC were suspended from October 1992 due to continued operating losses.
