About this scheme
The Additional Investment Subsidy (Early Bird Offer) operates as an incentive under the Andhra Pradesh Industrial Development Policy (IDP) 4.0 (2024-29). Its purpose is to draw further investment from enterprises owned by women, Backward Classes (BC), Scheduled Castes (SC), Scheduled Tribes (ST), and specially-abled entrepreneurs.
An extra 5% investment subsidy on eligible Fixed Capital Investment (FCI) is offered under this incentive. Through it, the government aims to encourage inclusive industrial growth and entrepreneurship throughout the state.
The offer is structured with the 'sub-large' category of enterprises in mind, so that a wide range of growing businesses can access enhanced financial support. By making capital investment more attractive for these priority groups, the policy contributes to economic development and employment generation in Andhra Pradesh.

How to apply
- Enterprises that wish to apply should consult the full Andhra Pradesh Industrial Development Policy (IDP) 4.0 document, which sets out the application procedure in detail. - There is no separate application for this additional investment subsidy; it forms part of the single application route for incentives available under IDP 4.0. - Applicants are generally required to file a comprehensive application form together with documents that establish eligibility, such as a domicile certificate, proof of ownership where the category demands it, and particulars of Fixed Capital Investment. - The completed application goes to the authority nominated for this purpose within the Andhra Pradesh Industries Department. - Assessment ordinarily runs through several stages — initial screening, verification of the investment particulars, and final approval, after which the subsidy is disbursed.
How applications are assessed
The Andhra Pradesh Industries Department screens each application against the eligibility conditions, checking domicile, ownership structure and whether the unit falls under the 'sub-large' category. The Fixed Capital Investment (FCI) is also examined for eligibility.
Disbursement of the subsidy follows only after these verifications are completed and the application is approved.
