About this scheme
Under the Uttar Pradesh Industrial Investment & Employment Promotion Policy 2022, standalone R&D units can claim a reimbursement incentive. The scheme is intended to support industrial growth and innovation in the state by backing dedicated research and development facilities.
Eligibility is limited to standalone R&D units that have made a substantial eligible capital investment and hold recognition from the Department of Scientific and Industrial Research (DSIR).
By covering part of R&D expenditure, the Government of Uttar Pradesh aims to advance technology and build conditions favourable to research. The incentive lessens the financial load of large R&D infrastructure and running costs, encouraging innovation across industrial sectors in Uttar Pradesh.

Confirm that your standalone R&D unit satisfies every eligibility condition, which covers the minimum capital investment, a facility that is clearly demarcated, and DSIR registration. 3. Assemble the documentation the policy requires for claiming industrial incentives. This generally covers detailed project reports, proofs of expenditure, and incorporation documents. 4. File your application with the Government of Uttar Pradesh authority designated in the policy document for industrial incentives. 5. Wait to hear back on the assessment and approval of your reimbursement claim.
How applications are assessed
Applications are screened by the concerned state government departments through an administrative and technical review. This covers verification of the standalone R&D unit's eligibility, assessment of the qualifying capital investment and expenditure, and confirmation of DSIR registration.
Since only 10 units are to be selected, evaluation rests on conformity with policy guidelines, the likely impact of the R&D activities, and fulfilment of all stipulated conditions. Where applications exceed the number of slots, selection may follow a first-come, first-served order or a competitive assessment.
