About this scheme
## Gujarat Textile Policy
The Industries and Mines Department, Gujarat, runs the Gujarat Textile Policy, an umbrella scheme intended to draw greater investment into textiles and to reinforce the value chain in every sub-sector, particularly garments, apparel and technical textiles. It remains in force from 1 October 2024 to 29 September 2029. Its stated purposes include lowering the carbon footprint, encouraging green growth, and making the sector both globally competitive and environmentally sustainable.
One component of the policy, Assistance for Technology Acquisition, extends financial support to industrial units. The support enables a unit to obtain suitable technology from recognised institutions so that it can upgrade either its product technology or its process technology. Through such upgrades, the policy seeks to keep industries competitive and to sustain innovation in textiles, in keeping with Gujarat's wider industrial and environmental goals.
The scheme's role is to modernise the textile industry, promote sustainable practices, and raise productivity and quality overall.

How applications are assessed
Applications for registration first go through scrutiny and verification by the Industrial Commissioner, who assesses the documents submitted and follows the prescribed procedures. Registered industrial units then apply for a Provisional or Final Eligibility Certificate.
Depending on the unit's classification and investment size, that application is handled by the General Manager, District Industries Center, the MSME Commissioner, or the Industries Commissioner. These authorities check whether the unit meets the policy guidelines and eligibility criteria before granting the certificate, which must be in hand before any financial benefit can be claimed.
