Overview
This is a Uttarakhand government incentive package aimed squarely at aromatic-plant based industry inside one purpose-built estate — Aroma Park at SIIDCUL, Kashipur. The Department of MSME administers the scheme, while the Centre for Aromatic Plants (CAP), Selaqui, Dehradun, is the implementing agency on the ground.
For a promoter, the value of the scheme lies in when the relief arrives. An aromatics unit needs processing equipment and a workshop building before it earns anything, and the package is structured to absorb part of that early load through a capital-linked investment incentive, alongside recurring relief on loans, state taxes, fees and power.
Because the support stretches across five years of operation rather than stopping at setup, it matters as much to an expanding enterprise adding capacity as to a first-time founder. CAP's technical assistance runs alongside the money, giving units guidance while they establish and run their operations in the park.
Highlights
- Investment Promotion Assistance of up to ₹40 lakh — 40% of capital invested in plant, machinery and the workshop building
- 10% interest subsidy on term loans for construction and machinery, capped at ₹8 lakh a year for five years
- 100% net SGST reimbursement on B2C sales within Uttarakhand for five years
- Full stamp duty exemption on land registration, plus 100% market fee exemption on raw materials for five years
- Concessional electricity at ₹1.55 per unit (irrigation/tubewell rate) for five years with uninterrupted supply
- Technical assistance from the Centre for Aromatic Plants (CAP), Selaqui, Dehradun
Who can apply
Eligibility here turns mainly on what the unit is and where it sits.
- Nature of the unit: it must be an aromatic industry — a business built on aromatic plants and the products derived from them.
- Location: the unit has to be established inside Aroma Park at SIIDCUL, Kashipur, Uttarakhand. The incentives are park-linked, so a similar unit set up elsewhere in the state is not covered by this package.
- Who can apply: entrepreneurs and individuals who want to set up such an industry in the park. Both new ventures and existing enterprises looking to expand fall within the scheme's scope.
- Practical prerequisite: since the benefits attach to units operating in the park, securing a plot in Aroma Park through SIIDCUL's allotment route is what puts a promoter in a position to claim them.
The scheme as published does not specify additional conditions around DPIIT recognition, MSME registration, turnover or founder profile.

Frequently asked questions
What is this scheme and who runs it?
It is an incentive package from the Department of MSME, Government of Uttarakhand, for entrepreneurs setting up aromatic industries inside Aroma Park at SIIDCUL, Kashipur. The Centre for Aromatic Plants (CAP), Selaqui, Dehradun, implements it and also provides technical assistance to units as they establish operations.
How much funding can a single unit receive?
The headline amount is up to ₹40 lakh as Investment Promotion Assistance, calculated at 40% of your fixed capital investment in plant, machinery and the workshop building. On top of that, an interest subsidy of 10% on term loans for construction and machinery can reach ₹8 lakh per year for five years. There is also five years of 100% net SGST reimbursement on in-state B2C sales, a full stamp duty exemption on land registration, a 100% market fee exemption on raw materials for five years, and electricity at a concessional ₹1.55 per unit for five years.
Which industries are eligible?
The scheme is meant for aromatic industries — businesses built on aromatic plants and the products derived from them. It is not a general manufacturing subsidy; the unit has to be an aromatics venture located within the designated park.
Does my unit have to be in a specific location?
Yes. The incentives apply to industries established in Aroma Park at SIIDCUL, Kashipur, in Uttarakhand. The benefits are tied to that park, so an aromatic unit operating anywhere else in the state would not qualify under this scheme.
Does the scheme take equity or dilute the promoter?
No. This is a government subsidy and incentive package, not an investment. Nothing in the scheme involves the department or CAP taking shares, a board seat or any ownership stake, so accepting the support does not dilute your holding. The benefits come as a capital incentive, reimbursements, exemptions and concessional tariffs.
How long do the benefits apply?
The interest subsidy, the net SGST reimbursement, the market fee exemption and the concessional electricity tariff each run for five years from the date the unit commences production. The stamp duty exemption applies at the point of land registration rather than over a period, and the Investment Promotion Assistance is linked to your fixed capital investment rather than to a number of years.
Is there a last date to apply?
The incentive scheme itself is described as rolling or always open, with no single fixed deadline. The real constraint is plot availability: applications for vacant plots in Aroma Park are advertised on the SIIDCUL website and remain open only for a fixed period, so your window depends on when the next advertisement appears.
How and where do I apply?
Start by watching for SIIDCUL's advertisements about vacant plots in Aroma Park on its e-procurement portal at https://esiidcul.com/eprocure/home. Review the plot sizes and the required Earnest Money Deposit, then apply online for your preferred plot through the portal. After the application period closes, an online bidding round decides the allotment, and the highest bidder receives the allotment letter.
What payment or documents are needed at the application stage?
Plot applications go through SIIDCUL's online portal and require an Earnest Money Deposit (EMD). The plot sizes available and the EMD amount are set out in each advertisement, so check the notice for the figures that apply to you. The scheme details do not publish a separate document checklist for the incentives themselves.
Is DPIIT recognition or MSME registration required?
The scheme as published does not state a DPIIT recognition or MSME registration requirement. Eligibility is framed around setting up an aromatic industry inside Aroma Park at SIIDCUL, Kashipur, and around securing a plot there through SIIDCUL's allotment process.
