Full official description

The subsidy is granted based on the category of the location and the type of activity undertaken.

💡 Why Startups Should Care
This is a mega-scale incentive — up to ₹100 crore in capital subsidy for large textile investments, with an even higher cap of ₹150 crore for PM MITRA Park units. If you're planning a large textile manufacturing facility in Gujarat, this dramatically de-risks the capital investment.
