AP Textile Power Reimbursement — ₹2/Unit Subsidy up to ₹2 Crore — Frequently Asked Questions

Eligible textile enterprises are reimbursed ₹2 for every unit of power they consume. The total is capped according to the size of the unit, so the ceiling ranges from ₹2 Lakh for a micro enterprise to ₹2 Crore for a large one.

Micro units can claim up to ₹2 Lakh over two years, small units up to ₹10 Lakh over three years, medium units up to ₹30 Lakh over four years, sub-large units up to ₹1 Crore over four years, and large units up to ₹2 Crore over five years.

Support runs for five years, counted from the Date of Commercial Production (DCP) of the eligible unit. The number of years within which a particular unit can draw down its full cap varies by size, as listed in the tier structure.

Textile enterprises that are new, expanding or diversifying can apply. The proprietor must belong to a special category — Backward Classes, Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes, minorities, transgender individuals or persons who are specially abled — or be a woman.

The programme covers micro, small, medium, sub-large and large enterprises, with a separate subsidy cap defined for each classification. The relevant cap is set by the unit's own classification.

DPIIT recognition is not listed among the criteria for this incentive. Udyam registration is mentioned as one of the documents an applicant may need to furnish, so keeping it up to date is advisable.

No. This is a subsidy paid as a reimbursement, so it is non-dilutive — the state does not take a stake in your business in return for the support.

No. Applications are rolling and the window stays open, so there is no fixed closing date to beat. That said, the five-year claim period is tied to your Date of Commercial Production, so later entry means less of that period remains.

Typically an incorporation certificate, Udyam registration, records of power consumption, financial statements, and a caste or community certificate or disability certificate where applicable, along with proof that the proprietor is a woman if that is the qualifying category.

You submit a formal application to the Andhra Pradesh Industries Department — generally through its designated online portal or a nodal agency — with your proposal covering registration details, enterprise classification and proof of the proprietor's eligible category. The application is then verified before the subsidy is sanctioned. The portal is at https://www.apindustries.gov.in/Incentives/Index.aspx.
