Who can apply for Maharashtra PSI 2019?

New manufacturing units and eligible expansion or diversification projects in Maharashtra can apply. Units producing liquor, tobacco, gutkha, or banned products are excluded.

What is the Industrial Promotion Subsidy (IPS) under PSI?

MSMEs are eligible for up to 100% SGST refund on their first sale in Maharashtra during the eligibility period. The exact quantum depends on taluka classification (backward, most-backward, etc.).

Is this scheme equity-free?

Yes. All benefits under Maharashtra PSI 2019 — including interest subsidy, electricity tariff subsidy, and stamp duty exemption — are non-repayable subsidies with no equity stake taken.

How long is the eligibility period?

The eligibility period depends on the taluka zone. Backward and most-backward areas attract longer eligibility windows; check the MAITRI portal or your District Industries Centre (DIC) for zone-specific durations.

Applications are submitted online through the MAITRI portal (maitri.mahaonline.gov.in). Units must register their project, submit required documents, and obtain an Eligibility Certificate (EC) from DIC or MIDC before claiming benefits.

Which benefits are available in Vidarbha and Marathwada?

Units in Vidarbha, Marathwada, North Maharashtra, and backward districts get additional electricity tariff subsidies and power-connection charge waivers on top of the standard IPS and interest subsidy components.

Maharashtra PSI 2019 bundles five categories of incentives for eligible manufacturing units. The Industrial Promotion Subsidy (IPS) provides MSMEs with up to 100% SGST refund on first sales in Maharashtra during the eligibility period. Interest subsidies of 5% (Micro/Small), 3% (Medium), and 2% (Large) are offered on term loans, with higher rates in backward zones. Additional benefits include electricity tariff subsidies in Vidarbha, Marathwada, North Maharashtra, and backward districts, along with full stamp duty and registration fee exemptions. Power-connection charge waivers are available in backward zones. These are non-dilutive, non-repayable incentives — no equity is taken and no repayment is required.
