UP Quality Certification Cost Reimbursement — 50% Back, up to ₹5L

This scheme sits inside Uttar Pradesh's New Warehousing & Logistics Policy 2022 and is run by the state government. Its purpose is simple: when an operator of storage or cold chain infrastructure pays to get a facility certified to a recognised quality standard, the state refunds a share of that spend.

Three kinds of facilities are named — warehouses, silos and cold chain installations — and all of them must be located in Uttar Pradesh. The claim is tied to certification work actually carried out on the facility, so the scheme rewards operators who are lifting their storage standards rather than those still planning to.

Because the support is a reimbursement rather than an upfront grant, the operator first pays the certification body and then claims the eligible portion back. The state's interest is in having a logistics network that measures up to accepted quality benchmarks, which in turn supports the wider aim of drawing investment and employment into the sector.

There is no application window to chase. The scheme runs on a rolling basis, so a facility can file its claim once the certification is in hand and the payment records are ready.

• 50% of quality certification costs refunded
• Capped at ₹5 lakh per project
• For warehouses, silos and cold chain facilities in Uttar Pradesh
• Rolling applications — no deadline to meet
• Run under the New UP Warehousing & Logistics Policy 2022
• A reimbursement, so no equity changes hands

The scheme is aimed at businesses running physical storage and cold chain assets inside Uttar Pradesh.

• The facility must be a warehouse, a silo or a cold chain facility situated in Uttar Pradesh.
• The facility must be involved in a quality certification process — the claim is linked to certification obtained for it.
• The applicant has to comply with the provisions of the New UP Warehousing & Logistics Policy 2022.

As published, the scheme conditions do not name a specific entity type, a turnover cut-off, a DPIIT startup recognition requirement or an MSME registration requirement. The test rests on the facility, where it is located, and the certification it has gone through.

UP Quality Certification Cost Reimbursement — 50% Back, up to ₹5L 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.

The support is a cash reimbursement against money already spent on quality certification.

• 50% of the amount paid for obtaining the quality certification is refunded.
• The refund is capped at ₹5 lakh per project.
• It is a subsidy, so no equity or ownership stake is taken and nothing has to be repaid.

Since only half the bill comes back, the applicant carries the remaining half of the certification cost. Disbursal happens after the claim is approved.

An application is placed before a committee or designated authority — either within the Government of Uttar Pradesh's Department of Infrastructure & Industrial Development or the agency implementing the New UP Warehousing & Logistics Policy 2022 — for scrutiny.

The review concentrates on three checks: whether the applicant and the facility meet the eligibility conditions, whether the quality certification produced is authentic, and whether the costs being claimed are accurate.

The authority also satisfies itself that the claim fits within the objectives and guidelines set out in the policy. Once a claim clears these checks, the approved reimbursement is released to the applicant's account.
