About this scheme
The Industry Hiring Incentive under the Chief Minister’s Yuva Karya Prashikshan Yojana (CMYKPY) forms part of the Maharashtra Industries Investment and Services Policy 2025. Through this scheme, the Government of Maharashtra seeks to raise local employment levels and build skills within the state.
Industries that hire local talent receive direct financial incentives. This lowers a portion of the cost of taking on new workers, which in turn encourages businesses to grow their operations and take on more staff.
The scheme responds to the shortage of skilled manpower faced by industrial sectors across Maharashtra, while also drawing businesses towards investment in the local workforce. Its wider purpose is to spread the gains of industrial growth through socio-economic development of the region.
