Generator Subsidy

The Generator Subsidy scheme, run by the Micro Small and Medium Enterprises Department of the Government of Tamil Nadu, offers financial support to manufacturing units. Its purpose is to assist both new and established Micro, Small, and Medium Manufacturing Enterprises through a substantial subsidy on generator purchases. This measure enables businesses to handle power supply more reliably, cutting down on operational interruptions and boosting output.

The programme supports industrial expansion within the state by giving manufacturing firms access to dependable power infrastructure. It promotes spending on critical machinery, which aids the economic progress and steadiness of MSMEs in Tamil Nadu.
