Frequently asked questions
How much does this scheme actually pay for?
It provides a subsidy of up to 70% of the allotment price of a multi-storied industrial shed in a GIDC estate. In simple terms, the entrepreneur needs to fund roughly 30% of the allotment price while the subsidy takes care of the rest.
Who is eligible to apply for the shed subsidy?
The applicant has to be a micro, small or medium enterprise in which the SC/ST entrepreneur's contribution is 51% or more. The shed applied for must be in a GIDC multi-storied complex, and the unit must be engaged in manufacturing or service activity.
Is there a deadline I should watch out for?
The scheme is in force from 7 August 2020 until 6 August 2025, which is the operating window set for it. Applications need to be made while the scheme remains active.
Which types of business activity are covered?
Manufacturing and service enterprises are covered. Trading businesses are specifically excluded, so a trading unit cannot claim this assistance even if it is SC/ST-owned and meets the other conditions.
Does the government take equity in my business in return for this support?
No. This is a subsidy, not an investment, so no equity or ownership stake is taken in your enterprise. The benefit is a direct reduction in the price you pay for the shed, and your ownership of the business stays intact.
Can I use this scheme for a shed outside a GIDC estate?
No. The assistance is tied to multi-storied industrial sheds developed within Gujarat Industrial Development Corporation estates. A shed located elsewhere would not fit the scheme's conditions.
How do I apply, and where?
Applications are made online on the Investor Facilitation Portal at https://ifp.gujarat.gov.in/IC/digigov.htm?actionFlag=loadCitizenRegPage. You begin with a new investor registration, complete the form, submit it, and confirm your email using the verification link sent to your inbox. After that you log in with your registered email and password, fill in the requisite business details, and upload the mandatory supporting documents to complete the application.
Do I need MSME or DPIIT registration to apply?
The scheme requires the applicant to be a micro, small or medium enterprise, and the SC/ST contribution of 51% or more is a firm condition. The eligibility conditions as published focus on MSME status, ownership, shed location and the line of business; no separate DPIIT recognition requirement is stated.
Will my production have to start by a certain time?
Yes. The business is expected to commence production within the period stipulated by GIDC as part of the shedding norms, so the timeline set for your unit must be respected.
What happens after I submit my application?
The relevant authorities verify what you have submitted, checking in particular the SC/ST entrepreneur's contribution and the nature of the business activity. If the application clears verification, it is taken forward for approval of the subsidy on the industrial shed allotment in line with the scheme's guidelines.
