UP Logistics Skill Development Subsidy: Up to ₹15 Lakh — Frequently Asked Questions

It reimburses a qualifying project for the monthly stipend it pays to its trainees. You train people, pay them a stipend, and then claim part of that stipend cost back from the state under the New Uttar Pradesh Warehousing & Logistics Policy 2022.

The scheme is open to three categories of freight infrastructure in Uttar Pradesh: Industrial Container Depots (ICD), Container Freight Stations (CFS) and Air Freight Stations (AFS). If your facility does not fall into one of these three project types, it does not qualify under the published criteria.

You get ₹1,000 per trainee per month, for 6 months. That amounts to roughly ₹6,000 for one trainee over a complete training cycle, which is the starting figure the scheme advertises.

Yes. The subsidy covers a maximum of 50 trainees per annum. Within that annual ceiling you can claim for as many trainees as you actually put through training.

The benefit is available for 5 years per project. It is designed to support repeated skilling cycles rather than a single batch of trainees, so you can keep claiming across multiple years.

Total support is capped at ₹15 lakh per project over the five-year benefit period. Even if your trainee numbers would otherwise produce a higher figure, ₹15 lakh is the outer limit.

Neither. It is a subsidy paid as a reimbursement, so the money is not repayable, and the government does not take any stake in your project in return. You fund the trainee stipends first and receive the eligible amount back.

There is no fixed deadline — the scheme runs on a rolling, always-open basis. Claims are made as incentives under the broader process defined by the New Uttar Pradesh Warehousing & Logistics Policy 2022, so you follow the policy's own submission timelines rather than a closing date.

Incentive claims are submitted through the state's official channels — the Nivesh Mitra portal at https://niveshmitra.up.gov.in/, or the application route published by the Department of Infrastructure & Industrial Development, Uttar Pradesh, and the Invest UP portal. Check the policy's submission guidelines for the exact form and timelines.

A detailed application form along with documentation covering your project details, proof that trainee stipends were actually disbursed, and the supporting financial records. The claim is then screened and evaluated by the designated authority against the policy's terms before any reimbursement is released.

A committee or designated authority reviews each application to confirm eligibility, check that the documentation is complete and accurate, and verify compliance with the rules on trainee numbers, stipend amounts and training duration. Approved reimbursements are then processed and disbursed after successful verification.
