Overview
The Mukhya Mantri Yuva Udyami Yojana is a loan-based financing scheme run by the Department of MSME, Government of Madhya Pradesh. It was introduced on 1 August 2014 and is aimed squarely at young residents of the state who want to build a new industrial venture but need help assembling the capital to do it.
What sets the scheme apart is that it does not offer a single lump sum. It bundles three forms of support — a term loan, a margin money contribution towards the project's capital cost, and an interest subsidy that continues for several years. Stacked together, these lower the upfront burden on a first-time promoter and make it easier to move from a business idea to an operating unit.
The stated goal is industrial development and economic self-reliance within Madhya Pradesh, with employment generation following from the new units that get set up. Applications can be filed online through the state's MSME portal or offline through the District Trade and Industry Center, and there is no fixed closing date — the window remains open on a rolling basis.
Highlights
- Term loans from ₹10 lakh to ₹2 crore for setting up a new industry
- Margin money of 15% of capital cost (up to ₹12 lakh) for general category applicants
- 20% margin money (up to ₹18 lakh) for BPL applicants
- Interest subsidy of 5% a year — 6% for women entrepreneurs — capped at ₹5 lakh a year for up to 7 years
- Open to Madhya Pradesh residents aged 18–40 who have passed Class 10th
- Rolling applications through the MP MSME portal or the District Trade and Industry Center

What the funding covers
Support under the scheme arrives in four parts.
- Term loan: borrowings from ₹10,00,000 to ₹2,00,00,000 for setting up an industry.
- Margin money assistance: 15% of the capital cost for general category applicants, capped at ₹12,00,000, and 20% of the capital cost for BPL applicants, capped at ₹18,00,000.
- Interest subsidy: 5% a year on the capital cost for up to 7 years, raised to 6% a year for women entrepreneurs. The subsidy is limited to a maximum of ₹5,00,000 per year.
- Guarantee fee: the prevailing guarantee fee is paid on the applicant's behalf for a maximum of 7 years.
