Uttar Pradesh PLI Top-up Subsidy 2022 — 30% Extra on Central PLI — Frequently Asked Questions

The state pays a 30% top-up on the PLI incentives disbursed to your undertaking by the Government of India. So if the central scheme pays you an incentive, the Government of Uttar Pradesh adds another 30% of that amount on top. Because the base figure depends on your own central PLI entitlement, the actual rupee value varies from unit to unit.

Yes. The total top-up disbursed by the Government of Uttar Pradesh is limited to 100% of your Eligible Capital Investment (ECI). Once the state's contribution reaches that ceiling, no further top-up is payable, however large the central PLI payout may be.

Any industrial undertaking that has been sanctioned incentives under a Production Linked Incentive (PLI) Scheme of the Government of India, and which meets the requirements of the Uttar Pradesh Industrial Investment & Employment Promotion Policy 2022. Holding a central PLI sanction is the essential starting point — the state scheme exists only to supplement it.

No. The scheme operates on a rolling basis with no fixed last date, so applications can be made once your central PLI incentive has been sanctioned and is being disbursed.

No. This is a subsidy, not an equity investment. The state does not acquire a stake in your business, and the amount paid is not repaid.

You first need to secure and receive disbursements under a Government of India PLI Scheme. The application for the 30% top-up is then submitted to the relevant department of the Government of Uttar Pradesh, following the procedures set out in the Uttar Pradesh Industrial Investment & Employment Promotion Policy 2022. Applications are made through the state's Nivesh Mitra portal, and the official policy document on the Invest UP website sets out the specific forms, documentation and submission requirements.

The state's top-up is disbursed as and when the corresponding PLI incentives are disbursed by the Government of India, so it mirrors the central scheme's payment schedule. Before any release, the state authority verifies the central disbursement and confirms that you comply with the terms of the 2022 policy.

It applies within Uttar Pradesh only. The top-up is part of the Uttar Pradesh Industrial Investment & Employment Promotion Policy 2022, so eligible industrial undertakings operating or investing in the state are the ones who can claim it.

Industrial undertakings are generally understood as registered business entities — private limited companies, limited liability partnerships, one person companies, partnerships and proprietorships — that are engaged in manufacturing or industrial activity within Uttar Pradesh.

No. A central sanction makes you eligible, but it does not release the state money. You must file an application with the Government of Uttar Pradesh, and a designated state authority reviews it — verifying your central PLI status, confirming your adherence to the 2022 policy, and checking that all documentation is accurate and complete — before the top-up is approved for disbursement.

No. DPIIT (Startup India) recognition is not listed as a mandatory requirement for Uttar Pradesh PLI Top-up Subsidy 2022 — 30% Extra on Central PLI, though having it can strengthen your application and unlock other benefits.

Uttar Pradesh PLI Top-up Subsidy 2022 — 30% Extra on Central PLI is offered by Government of Uttar Pradesh, a government body. It is provided as non-dilutive funding.
