Sector-Specific Subsidy Mapping for Manufacturers & Tech Firms

Introduction

2. Risks If You Don’t Map by Sector

• Missed scheme windows and truncated eligibility periods.
• Project structures that don’t meet the required product, entity, location or scale for the scheme.
• Under-claimed benefits due to misaligned stacking of central + state incentives.
• Cash-flow delays from avoidable clarification, audit queries or incorrect evidence submission.

Our Framework — From Policy Universe to Your Eligible Basket

1. Policy Universe: Identify all central and state schemes relevant to your sector.
2. Eligibility Fit: Map your project’s investment, product line, local value add and scale to the scheme criteria.
3. Stack Design: Combine central and state incentives where permitted, and plan filings accordingly.
4. Filing & Sequencing: Plan the timeline for approvals (LoI/EC), DPR submissions, capex proofs, and milestone compliances.

Sector-Wise Subsidy & Incentive Map (Illustrative)

• Central incentives include PLI for IT hardware/EMS, semiconductor fab support, and capital expenditure (capex) incentives for components.
• State incentives typically include capital subsidies, interest subvention, stamp duty and electricity duty relief, as well as SGST reimbursement under state industrial policies.

• Central incentives: PLI for auto components and battery manufacturing, demand incentives under electric mobility programmes.
• State incentives: Additional manufacturing/assembly incentives for EVs and associated components, location-specific power/land incentives.

• Central: PLI for bulk drugs, medical devices and manufacturing expansion.
• State: Dedicated parks and policies with capex grants, utility relief and R&D benefits.

• Central: PLI for MMF apparel and technical textiles (performance-linked).
• State: Incentives via textile policies, including capital subsidy, electricity tariff support, and corridor benefits.

• Central: PLI for specialty steel.
• State: Power-tariff concessions, stamp duty exemption, SGST support for setting up within the state.

• Central: PLI for high-efficiency solar modules, incentives for solar manufacturing and component supply.
• State: Additional facilitation such as fee waivers, preferential land allotment for solar manufacturing and ancillary industries.

• Central: PLIs for drones/components, telecom & networking gear, and white goods manufacturing.
• State: Manufacturing incentives, plus industrial policy benefits for new product lines in these categories.

What You Get (Deliverables)

• A sector-wise Incentive Matrix combining central + top state benefits for your product line.
• An Eligibility & Threshold Diagnostic mapping your capex, location, HS codes, production targets to scheme criteria.
• Filing Timeline & Evidence Checklist for each scheme with milestones and inspection/renewal schedule.
• A Stacking Plan showing how central + state + local incentives can combine (or sequence) for maximal benefit.
• Approval & Disbursement Tracker with logs for each scheme, inspection readiness and audit documentation.

Snapshot Case Study

• Improved internal rate of return (IRR) by structuring layered incentives.
• Shorter time to cash flow by aligning filings with project milestones and avoiding delays.
• Audit-ready documentation reduces the risk of claw-backs, drives investor confidence.
• Strategic location decision backed by data on sector incentives and state ecosystem benefits.
• Stronger negotiation position with lenders and partners by presenting a complete subsidy stack.

Who Should Use This

• Manufacturers in sectors such as electronics, auto/EV, batteries, metals, textiles, and pharma.
• Technology firms are entering hardware manufacturing (telecom gear, white goods, semiconductors).
• Investors and corporate groups are planning new product lines under national schemes or setting up new units in states.
• Companies looking for expansion, diversification or relocation and seeking optimal incentive region and product fit.
