Overview
Maharashtra runs a dedicated capital subsidy for entities that build a Mini Textile Complex in the state. It is administered by the Directorate of Industries, Government of Maharashtra, and sits within the Maharashtra Integrated & Sustainable Textile Policy 2023.
The design is deliberate. Instead of backing a single loom or processing line, the state supports the whole complex — the land, the buildings, the machinery and the solar installation that powers it. The intent is to expand manufacturing, processing and value addition capacity, create employment, and sharpen the competitiveness of Maharashtra's textile industry.
Support comes as a subsidy, not as an investment. The money is non-repayable and no equity or ownership stake is taken in the applicant's business. The scale is substantial: 40% of the eligible project cost, capped at ₹30 crore. Applications run on a rolling basis, so there is no fixed annual window to wait for.
Highlights
- 40% subsidy on the total project cost
- Maximum payout of ₹30 crore
- For Mini Textile Complexes set up in Maharashtra
- Covers land, construction, machinery and solar
- Non-repayable — no equity or stake taken
- Rolling applications under the state textile policy
Who can apply
The scheme is aimed at entities that are setting up a Mini Textile Complex in Maharashtra.
- Applicant: any legally recognised entity intending to establish a Mini Textile Complex.
- Location: the complex must come up in Maharashtra, in the divisions specified under the state's textile policy.
- Project type: the investment must be a Mini Textile Complex — the incentive is built around the complex itself rather than an isolated manufacturing unit.
The scheme details provided do not lay down a particular business stage, a DPIIT recognition condition or a compulsory MSME registration, so none of those are presented here as eligibility gates for this subsidy.

Deadline & timing
Maharashtra Mini Textile Subsidy 2025 — 40% Project Support up to ₹30 Cr 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.
What the funding covers
The subsidy covers 40% of the total project cost, with the payout capped at ₹30 crore. Where the two figures differ, the lower one applies — a smaller project receives 40% of what it spends, while a very large one is limited by the ₹30 crore ceiling.
The eligible cost base is broad and includes:
- Land acquisition
- Construction of the complex and its facilities
- Procurement of machinery
- Installation of solar energy systems
Because this is a subsidy rather than a loan or an equity investment, the amount does not have to be repaid and no stake in the business is given away. Once an official sanction letter is issued, disbursement begins and is normally linked to the project's milestones.
