The Aatmanirbhar Gujarat Scheme for Assistance to MSMEs is a state initiative designed to support and strengthen the MSME sector in Gujarat. It aims to enhance growth, encourage investments, and contribute to the vision of self-reliant Gujarat and India.

The scheme is operative from October 5, 2022, to October 4, 2027, covering a period of five years.

The scheme aims to boost MSME growth, enhance the industrial ecosystem, encourage investments, and contribute to Gujarat’s and India’s self-reliance vision.

The scheme includes the establishment of new industrial estates, sector-specific parks, and infrastructure projects, along with amendments to the Gujarat Industrial Policy 2020 to further support MSME growth.

MSMEs established and operating within Gujarat are eligible to benefit from the scheme, as per the criteria defined in the policy framework.

The component provides a capital investment subsidy to support micro-enterprises in manufacturing, aiding their growth and expansion by reducing their capital investment burden.

The scheme is open to new manufacturing enterprises or existing enterprises that are undertaking expansion or diversification, provided they commence commercial production during the operative period (October 5, 2022, to October 4, 2027).

The subsidy is determined based on the lower of the Gross Fixed Capital Investment (GFCI) made in the project or the cost appraised by a bank or financial institution.

The subsidy varies by taluka category: Category 1: 25% of the term loan amount, up to ₹35,00,000 Category 2: 20% of the term loan amount, up to ₹30,00,000 Category 3 & Municipal Corporation Areas: 10% of the term loan amount, up to ₹10,00,000

Enterprises that have already availed incentives for the same GFCI under any other state government scheme or agency are ineligible unless explicitly allowed.

Applications must be submitted online within one (1) year of the first loan disbursement, the date of commercial production commencement, or the GR issue date, whichever is later, but before the scheme's operative period ends.

The subsidy will be disbursed only after the enterprise has commenced commercial production.

Enterprises whose term loans are sanctioned more than one year after the commencement of commercial production are not eligible for the subsidy.
