UP Capital Subsidy Logistics Park

The Capital Subsidy under the New UP Warehousing & Logistics Policy 2022 provides financial support to developers establishing modern logistics parks in Uttar Pradesh. The scheme is intended to lower the upfront cost of setting up warehousing and transportation infrastructure, thereby encouraging private investment in the sector.

These facilities are expected to improve supply chain efficiency for industries and support agricultural and industrial expansion. The policy aims to position Uttar Pradesh as a major logistics centre, which would generate employment and contribute to regional economic development.

The application process for the Capital Subsidy is set out under the New UP Warehousing & Logistics Policy 2022. Applicants, namely developers of Logistics Parks, are ordinarily expected to follow these steps:

- **Expression of Interest/Registration**: Register the project's intent and particulars with the designated nodal agency, typically through the Invest UP portal. - **Detailed Project Report (DPR) Submission**: Prepare and file a Detailed Project Report (DPR) covering the project scope, financial forecasts, a breakdown of eligible capital investment, and the proposed site, including whether it is situated within a notified Logistics Zone. - **Regulatory Clearances and Approvals**: Obtain the requisite land, environmental, and other statutory clearances from the appropriate government bodies, and attach evidence of these with the application. - **Application Review and Screening**: The application and its supporting documents are first checked for completeness and conformity with the policy's basic eligibility conditions. - **Committee Evaluation**: A committee or task force constituted under the policy assesses the project's viability, economic benefits, and consistency with the policy's aims. - **Site Inspection (if applicable)**: Physical checks or site visits may be undertaken to verify the proposed location and its infrastructure. - **Sanction and Agreement**: Following a favourable assessment, the subsidy is approved, and an agreement specifying the disbursement terms and conditions is signed. - **Disbursement on Milestones**: The subsidy is released in instalments or upon meeting specified construction and operational milestones, with proof of qualifying capital expenditure required.

Applications undergo review by the department or committee constituted under the New UP Warehousing & Logistics Policy 2022. The assessment verifies project eligibility, evaluates the proposed capital investment, and confirms the project’s location, with particular attention to proposals seeking enhanced subsidies within designated Logistics Zones. Adherence to all policy guidelines and criteria is essential for the approval and sanction of the subsidy.
