Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar Udyog Uday Yojana — ₹15L Infrastructure Subsidy — Frequently Asked Questions

The scheme reimburses 75% of the capital investment you have made in eligible industrial infrastructure, with the total capped at ₹15,00,000 per enterprise. That ceiling covers all the eligible facilities taken together, so if you claim for water, gas and a road, the combined payout still cannot cross ₹15 lakh.

The component is meant for Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises in Gujarat that are owned and managed by SC/ST entrepreneurs, with at least 51% contribution from an SC/ST individual. The enterprise must also have made a fixed capital investment in industrial infrastructure that sits outside GIDC areas and established industrial parks.

Three categories of basic industrial infrastructure qualify: water supply facilities, gas connections, and the construction or improvement of an approach road to the industrial unit. The idea is to improve utility access and last-mile connectivity rather than to fund plant, machinery or buildings.

The infrastructure development must fall outside GIDC (Gujarat Industrial Development Corporation) areas and outside established industrial parks. Water and gas connection expenditure must additionally be for linking the industrial unit directly from the source.

No. The scheme is rolling or always open, so you can apply as soon as your infrastructure investment is in place. The scheme itself is effective from 7 August 2020 to 6 August 2025, which is the outer window within which applications are made.

Since the subsidy covers 75% of the capital investment, your enterprise must bear the remaining 25% of the industrial infrastructure cost. That applies across water, gas and approach road expenditure.

No. This is a government subsidy, so it is non-dilutive — no equity or ownership stake is taken in your enterprise. You remain the full owner of the business while receiving the financial assistance.

Yes. The quality of the approach road construction must be certified by a government-approved third-party agency. This certification forms part of the eligibility conditions for claiming assistance on road work.
