About this scheme
The Industries and Mines Department of Gujarat has introduced the Aatmanirbhar Gujarat Scheme for MSMEs, a broad programme aimed at strengthening the state's Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises sector. Given the sector's significant role in generating employment, contributing to GDP and driving exports, the scheme seeks to promote growth, draw in fresh investment and advance the goals of Aatmanirbhar Gujarat and Aatmanirbhar Bharat (Self-Reliant India). It remains in force from October 5, 2022 to October 4, 2027.
One element of the scheme, "Assistance in Rent to MSEs," extends financial support to Micro and Small Enterprises that take industrial sheds on lease or rent in order to begin or grow manufacturing operations. The support takes the form of a reimbursement covering part of the rent paid, which lowers operating costs for these businesses.
By easing the cost burden, the assistance makes it more practical for MSEs to establish and continue manufacturing activity in Gujarat, thereby supporting industrial development and economic resilience.
