About this scheme
The Investment Subsidy forms part of the Andhra Pradesh Industrial Development Policy (IDP), the MSME-EDP, and the Food Processing Policy (FPP 4.0) 2024-29. Under this incentive, secondary and tertiary processing units in the state receive financial assistance towards their Fixed Capital Investment (FCI).
The scheme's objectives include encouraging value addition, raising processing capacity, generating employment, and building a stronger food processing ecosystem in Andhra Pradesh. A sizeable share of the eligible FCI is extended as subsidy, which lowers the financial load on processing units of every scale — from grassroots FPOs and SHGs through to large industrial players.
Such support helps units modernise, expand, or set up new processing facilities, feeding into the state's wider industrial and economic growth, especially in the agro-food and manufacturing sectors. Eligibility is kept broad, spanning a wide range of entities, which reflects a wider approach to industrial promotion and rural development.
