Full official description
The "Scheme for Financial Assistance to Integrated Logistics Facilities" is an umbrella scheme launched by the Industries and Mines Department, Gujarat under the Gujarat Integrated Logistics and Logistics Park Policy. Effective from August 2nd, 2021 to August 1st, 2026, this initiative aims to provide financial assistance to the private developer for developing Logistics Facilities and Logistics Park with all required infrastructure and logistic services. The component "Interest Subsidy" is designed to assist developers by reducing their interest burden on term loans. It is applicable only to new units or projects, enabling developers to improve their financial stability during the project's development phase.
Benefits
- Interest subsidy on term loans taken for new logistics infrastructure development
- Interest accrued during the moratorium period (before repayment begins) is also eligible
- Subsidy calculated on the actual disbursed loan amount, not the total sanctioned amount
- Periods with 90+ days of principal default are excluded from the subsidy calculation
💡 Why Startups Should Care
Covering interest even during the moratorium period is unusual and valuable — it means your subsidy starts accruing from disbursement, not just from when repayment begins, effectively extending the benefit window for logistics park developers.

- Only new logistics facility or park projects qualify (existing projects are excluded)
