Gujarat Textile Capital Subsidy — Up to ₹100 Cr for Textile Units — Frequently Asked Questions

It depends on where the unit is located and what it does. For Activity 1 — garments, apparel and made-ups, technical textiles and composite units — Category 1 and PM MITRA Park units can get up to 35% of their eligible fixed capital investment, capped at ₹100 crore; Category 2 units up to 30%, also capped at ₹100 crore; and Category 3 units up to 20%, with a maximum of ₹50 crore. For Activity 2 — weaving, knitting, dyeing and processing, texturising, twisting, embroidery and MMF spinning — Category 1 and PM MITRA Park units get up to 20% of eFCI with a ₹50 crore cap, Category 2 up to 18% with a ₹50 crore cap, and Category 3 up to 10%, capped at ₹40 crore.

Industrial units in Gujarat's textile sector that have taken a term loan for their project and have started commercial production. The subsidy application has to be filed within one year of the Date of Commercial Production, and the combined support from state and central government schemes cannot be larger than the term loan amount that was actually disbursed.

Yes. A unit must have availed a term loan for the project before it can claim the capital subsidy. The term loan also acts as a ceiling: whatever the unit receives from state and central government schemes taken together has to stay within the total term loan amount disbursed.

Activities are split into two buckets. Activity 1 covers garments, apparel and made-ups, and technical textiles, including composite units. Activity 2 covers weaving, knitting, dyeing and processing, texturising, twisting, embroidery and MMF spinning; cotton and synthetic filament yarn spinning are not part of Activity 2.

The category follows the unit's location within Gujarat. The policy sorts units into Category 1, Category 2 and Category 3 based on where they are set up, and units located in a PM MITRA Park are treated on the same footing as Category 1. The category, combined with the activity, fixes both the percentage of eligible fixed capital investment and the maximum rupee amount the unit can receive.

There is no fixed last date — applications are accepted on a rolling basis. The policy itself is operative from 1 October 2024 to 29 September 2029. Each unit still has its own clock, though: the subsidy application must be made within one year of the Date of Commercial Production.

No. This is a capital subsidy — cash support towards the unit's eligible fixed capital investment. The government does not take any equity or ownership share in the company in return for the amount sanctioned.

Applications are offline and submitted in the prescribed format. The first step is registration with the Industries Commissioner, with all required documents attached. After commercial production begins, the destination depends on your unit's size: MSMEs with Gross Fixed Capital Investment up to ₹10 crore apply to the General Manager, District Industries Center; MSMEs with GFCI above ₹10 crore and up to ₹50 crore apply to the MSME Commissioner for a Provisional Eligibility Certificate; and units that are not MSMEs apply to the Industries Commissioner for a Provisional Eligibility Certificate.

The registration application goes to the Industries Commissioner within one year of whichever is later — the date the loan was disbursed, the date commercial production commenced, or the policy's operative date of 1 October 2024. For the Provisional Eligibility Certificate, MSMEs with GFCI above ₹10 crore and up to ₹50 crore must apply to the MSME Commissioner within one year of the Date of Commercial Production or within one year of the date the GR was issued, whichever is later. Non-MSME units must apply to the Industries Commissioner within one year of DoCP or within one year of their registration certificate being issued, whichever is later.

Applications must be made in the prescribed format and accompanied by all the required documents called for under the scheme. Officials then scrutinise and verify the submission, first issuing a registration certificate and later assessing the case for a Provisional or Final Eligibility Certificate. The required forms are available for download through the official policy page of the Industries and Mines Department, Government of Gujarat.
