Overview
The Uttar Pradesh Textile and Garmenting Policy 2022 carries a land cost subsidy meant to pull fresh textile and garmenting capacity into the state. Instead of funding machinery or day-to-day operations, this incentive attacks one of the biggest upfront bills a manufacturer faces — the price of the plot — by giving back a share of what the unit pays for it.
Units that buy their land from government agencies, departments or other development authorities qualify, and plots inside the PM MITRA Park at Lucknow/Hardoi count too. The aim is to make these designated industrial areas the natural choice for investors weighing Uttar Pradesh against other textile states.
The money does not follow the purchase automatically. The reimbursement is tied to real output: a unit has to begin commercial production no later than five years after acquiring the land before the subsidy is released. That condition keeps the benefit with factories that actually run and create jobs, rather than with land held idle.
Because it is structured as a subsidy rather than an investment, the support is non-dilutive — promoters keep full ownership of the business. It forms one part of the wider incentive package offered by the Government of Uttar Pradesh under the 2022 policy, and applications run on a rolling basis with no closing date.
Applications are handled through the framework set out in the policy document itself, and the state's official investment portal at niveshmitra.up.gov.in is the listed channel.

Frequently asked questions
How much does the Land Cost Subsidy actually pay?
Eligible units get back 25% of the price they paid for their land. If the unit is in Gautam Budh Nagar district, that rate drops to 15%. Whichever rate applies, the reimbursement cannot exceed 10% of the unit's total project cost, so the exact rupee amount depends on the land price and the size of the project.
Who can apply for this subsidy?
Textile and garmenting units that have purchased land in industrial areas created by Government Agencies or Departments and other development authorities, or inside the PM MITRA Park at Lucknow/Hardoi. The unit must be a registered business, and it must begin commercial production no later than five years after acquiring the land.
When is the subsidy paid out?
It is paid as a reimbursement, not in advance. The money is released once the unit starts commercial production, and that has to happen within five years of the land purchase. A unit that holds land without going into production inside that window would not meet the policy's condition for the payout.
Is there a last date to apply?
No. The scheme runs on a rolling basis and stays open — there is no application deadline listed. Units can apply as and when they complete a qualifying land purchase.
Which locations qualify for the land cost subsidy?
The land must sit in industrial areas developed by Government Agencies or Departments and other development authorities in Uttar Pradesh. Plots inside the PM MITRA Park at Lucknow/Hardoi also qualify. Gautam Budh Nagar is a special case — land there is eligible, but only at the reduced 15% rate.
Does the government take equity or a stake in my company?
No. This is a subsidy paid out as a reimbursement, so it is non-dilutive. The promoter does not give up any equity, shares or ownership in return for the money.
What kinds of businesses can claim it?
Registered textile and garmenting units. The policy names Private Limited Companies, LLPs, Partnerships, Proprietorships and One Person Companies among the business structures operating in this sector that can apply.
What documents are typically needed?
The application is expected to be submitted as a proposal or application form along with proof of the land purchase, a project plan and the unit's incorporation details. Applicants should check the official policy document for the exact list.
