Scheme for Assistance for basic Industrial Infrastructure

You as an enterprise or developer in Gujarat can benefit from this scheme run by the Industries & Mines Department, Government of Gujarat under the Gujarat Industrial Policy 2020, for industrial infrastructure projects.

The purpose is to support creation or augmentation of industrial infrastructure assets – such as industrial parks, estates, sheds, etc. – so that your business (or the park you locate in) has better facilities. The benefit is that eligible infrastructure developers/parks earn financial assistance (capital subsidy) from the State which lowers your infrastructure cost or improves feasibility.
