AP Textile Policy Land Conversion Reimbursement — 100% Subsidy — Frequently Asked Questions

It covers the full bill. An eligible enterprise gets 100% of the land conversion charges it has paid reimbursed, with no share left for the unit to bear. Because the payout mirrors the fees actually paid in each case, the figure differs from applicant to applicant — the scheme does not carry one fixed sum. The reimbursement is granted once and is credited to the enterprise's bank account after verification and approval.

Two kinds of textile businesses qualify: new enterprises setting up in Andhra Pradesh, and existing enterprises going in for expansion or diversification. The unit has to be located in Andhra Pradesh and operating in the textile sector. Scale is not a barrier — Micro, Small, Medium, Sub-Large and Large enterprises are all covered by the incentive.

No. The support is structured as a reimbursement, which functions like a subsidy, so the money is non-repayable. The enterprise is not taking on debt and nothing is recovered from it afterwards.

It is a one-time reimbursement of land conversion charges for an eligible enterprise. There is no recurring annual payment under this incentive.

The incentive is part of the Andhra Pradesh Textile Policy 2024-29, also referred to as AP TAG 4.0. It is administered by the Department of Handlooms and Textiles, Government of Andhra Pradesh, with applications routed through the Department of Industries or a district-level industry facilitation centre.

Yes on both counts. The incentive comes under the state's textile policy, so the focus is on textile-sector enterprises, and the unit must be based in Andhra Pradesh. The policy is designed to draw textile investment into the state and to support units already operating there.

No size band rules an applicant out. The policy covers Micro, Small, Medium, Sub-Large and Large enterprises, so both a small weaving unit and a large integrated textile plant can claim the same 100% reimbursement of the land conversion charges they have paid.

The application typically calls for proof of enterprise registration, land ownership documents, official receipts showing the land conversion charges paid, and a project report for the new or expanding unit, along with any other forms named in the policy. Reading the policy guidelines first helps ensure the file is complete when it goes in.

Fill in the prescribed application form for incentives under the AP Textile Policy and submit it, with all supporting documents, to the designated authority — usually the Department of Industries or a district-level industry facilitation centre in Andhra Pradesh. Submission may be online or in physical form, depending on the channel specified. The official portal is at https://www.apindustries.gov.in/Incentives/Index.aspx.

There is no closing date. The scheme runs on a rolling basis and remains open, so an enterprise can file its application whenever it is ready.

Documents are first screened for completeness and basic eligibility under the policy. The enterprise profile, project details and the authenticity of the land conversion charge payments are then reviewed in detail, and a committee or designated authority within the Department of Industries assesses the claim against the policy's guidelines. Approval and disbursement follow only once verification is satisfactory and the terms of the policy are met.
