Investment Promotion Scheme (IPS) for Textile Sector: Assistance Of Interest Subsidy For Textile Sector – Up to ₹70 Lakhs

The Investment Promotion Scheme (IPS) for the MSME Sector, launched by the Department of Industries, U.T. Administration of Dadra & Nagar Haveli and Daman & Diu, is a strategic initiative aimed at bolstering the region's textile industry. This particular sub-scheme, "Assistance Of Interest Subsidy For Textile Sector", seeks to transform the Union Territory into a specialized hub for various textile segments, including technical textiles, fabrics, carpets, garments, apparels, and the manufacturing of textile machinery and medical fabrics. Originally introduced in 2015 and recently extended until May 2027, the scheme plays a crucial role in promoting industrial growth, fostering innovation within the textile value chain, and addressing local socio-economic challenges.

A primary objective of the IPS is to stimulate economic activity by offering significant incentives to new and expanding manufacturing and service units within the MSME textile sector. Beyond direct industrial growth, the scheme also aims to maximize women's participation in business, create employment opportunities for local residents, and encourage industries to employ resident laborers. By providing a credit-linked interest subsidy, the administration directly reduces the financial burden on eligible units, making it more attractive for businesses to invest, expand, and contribute to the region's industrial ecosystem. This targeted support is designed to enhance competitiveness, promote technological adoption, and ensure sustainable development within the vibrant textile landscape of Dadra & Nagar Haveli and Daman & Diu. The scheme is a testament to the government's commitment to creating a conducive environment for industrial prosperity and job creation in the Union Territory.

The selection process for the Investment Promotion Scheme: Assistance of Interest Subsidy for Textile Sector primarily involves a thorough review of online applications. Once an application is submitted, it undergoes an initial screening by the District Industries Centre (DIC) to ensure all eligibility criteria are met and mandatory documents are provided. Following this, a designated committee, comprising officials from the Department of Industries and other relevant agencies of the U.T. Administration of Dadra & Nagar Haveli and Daman & Diu, will evaluate the application. The committee assesses the unit's compliance with scheme objectives, the validity of the loan details, and the commencement of commercial production. Decisions are made based on the completeness and accuracy of the information provided and adherence to the scheme guidelines. Successful applicants will be notified regarding the approval and disbursement process of the interest subsidy.

Eligible textile units can receive a substantial 60% interest subsidy on the interest charged by their bank, capped at ₹60,00,000 per annum. This subsidy is provided for a period of 5 years or until the full repayment of the loan, whichever comes first, significantly easing the financial strain associated with credit. For export-oriented carpet industries, there's an additional incentive: a 10% extra subsidy, increasing their total annual ceiling to ₹70,00,000. This enhanced support specifically targets industries contributing to India's export economy, recognizing their role in generating foreign exchange and promoting global competitiveness. The scheme ensures that businesses can invest in expansion, diversification, or new ventures with reduced interest costs, thereby fostering growth and encouraging greater participation in the textile sector.
