Gujarat Integrated Logistics Capital Subsidy for New Logistics Parks

The Industries and Mines Department of the Government of Gujarat provides a capital subsidy to private developers who take up new integrated logistics facilities and logistics parks. It sits under the Gujarat Integrated Logistics and Logistics Park Policy and stays in force from 2 August 2021 to 1 August 2026.

Logistics infrastructure demands heavy upfront spending on construction and allied works. This subsidy shares that load with developers and, in doing so, expands the state's warehousing and freight-handling capacity. Assistance is worked out against the qualifying fixed capital spend of a fresh project, with land cost kept out of the calculation entirely.

Money does not land in one go. Developers claim in phases that mirror expenditure actually incurred on the ground, and a slice of the sanctioned assistance is held back until the facility is complete.

Applications are accepted online through the Investor Facilitation Portal and offline at the Industries Commissionerate. There is no fixed closing date — submissions remain open across the policy period.

• Capital subsidy for private developers building new integrated logistics facilities and logistics parks in Gujarat
• Only new units and projects qualify, and land cost is never covered
• Paid in four phases at 25%, 50%, 75% and 100% of the sanctioned project cost
• The final 15% of the eligible assistance is released only after project completion
• The facility must be operated for at least five years and cannot be sold or transferred for five years
• Applications run on a rolling basis through the policy period ending 1 August 2026

This subsidy is built for private developers creating fresh logistics capacity in Gujarat, not for owners of facilities that already exist.

• New units and new projects only — the scheme supports construction of integrated logistics facilities and logistics parks, and existing facilities cannot claim under this component.
• What the subsidy can count — construction and infrastructure work; land cost is excluded from the eligible amount.
• Costing norms — the project must be costed as per government SOR norms.
• Phase-wise claims — each claim has to correspond to expenditure the developer has actually incurred at that stage.
• Clearances — all applicable environmental and statutory approvals must be obtained.
• Driver amenities — basic facilities such as toilets and rest areas for transport vehicle drivers are mandatory.
• Operation commitment — the developer must run and maintain the logistics facility for a minimum of five years.
• Leased land — where the land is taken on lease, a registered lease or rental deed of at least 10 years is required.
• No captive use — the warehouse space cannot be retained by the developer for its own captive purposes.
• Lock-in on transfer — the facility cannot be sold or transferred for a minimum of five years, counted from the sanction date or the commissioning date, whichever comes later.

Gujarat Integrated Logistics Capital Subsidy for New Logistics Parks is open to startups at any stage. It is open to startups registered anywhere in India.

Gujarat Integrated Logistics Capital Subsidy for New Logistics Parks accepts applications on a rolling basis — there is no fixed cut-off date, so eligible startups can apply at any time. Because rolling programmes can pause without notice, confirm the window is still open on the official site before you start.

The support here is a capital subsidy — not a loan, and not an equity position. Nothing is repaid and no shareholding is diluted.

• What it covers: construction and infrastructure work on a new integrated logistics facility or logistics park. Land purchase is excluded.
• How the amount is set: the quantum varies by project, since it is calculated against the sanctioned eligible project cost rather than a flat published figure.
• How it is paid out: four phase-wise installments at 25%, 50%, 75% and 100% of the sanctioned project cost, with land cost excluded throughout.
• What is withheld: the final 15% of the eligible assistance is released only after the project is completed.

Because the assistance is tied to capital spend, it directly eases the upfront burden a developer carries and makes such projects more viable to build.

Gujarat Integrated Logistics Capital Subsidy for New Logistics Parks is offered by Industries and Mines Department, Government of Gujarat, a government body. As a government-backed subsidy, it is publicly funded and open to eligible startups across India.

Applications arrive either online through the Investor Facilitation Portal or offline at the Industries Commissionerate. The offline route then moves through a registration stage and a sanction stage.

Sanction stage
