UP Capital Subsidy for Logistics Parks — Up to ₹50 Cr — Frequently Asked Questions

The subsidy is calculated at 25% of your eligible capital investment. The payout is capped at ₹25 crore for a project anywhere in Uttar Pradesh, and that cap doubles to ₹50 crore if the park is located inside a designated Logistics Zone.

No. ₹25 crore is the maximum for projects set up anywhere in the state, while the ₹50 crore ceiling applies only to projects positioned within designated Logistics Zones. The location of your site is therefore a deciding factor in how much support you can claim.

The subsidy is open to logistics park developers — the businesses that develop these projects — and the park itself must be set up in Uttar Pradesh. Those are the two criteria stated for the programme; no separate requirements around entity type, turnover, DPIIT recognition, MSME registration or founder background are specified.

Yes. A project situated outside Uttar Pradesh does not qualify, since the scheme is part of the state's own warehousing and logistics policy. Where inside the state the park sits also matters, because a designated Logistics Zone unlocks the higher subsidy ceiling.

The programme is listed as running on a rolling or always-open basis. No fixed cut-off date is specified in the policy, which means applications are accepted on an ongoing basis under the framework of the New UP Warehousing & Logistics Policy 2022.

You do not repay it. This is a capital subsidy — a grant towards capital expenditure — and it is explicitly not a loan. It is also not an equity investment, so no stake or ownership in your project is handed over in return for the funding.

It is generally disbursed in tranches, tied to predefined construction and operational milestones. Each release is made against proof of the eligible capital expenditure you have incurred, so the money follows progress on the ground rather than arriving upfront.

Start by registering an expression of interest with the designated nodal agency, which is often done through the Invest UP portal. The official application route is available at https://niveshmitra.up.gov.in/. From there you submit a Detailed Project Report and the required clearance documents for screening and committee evaluation.

Expect to prepare a Detailed Project Report covering your project's scope, financial projections, eligible capital investment breakdown and proposed location. You will also need to file the land, environmental and other regulatory clearances obtained from the relevant departments, and later provide evidence of eligible capital expenditure to trigger each tranche of disbursement.

The relevant department or committee constituted under the New UP Warehousing & Logistics Policy 2022 reviews the application. It verifies eligibility, assesses the proposed capital investment, and confirms the project's location — particularly for applicants seeking the higher rate available in designated Logistics Zones. Compliance with the policy's guidelines is essential before the subsidy is sanctioned.
