Capital Subsidy for Food Processing Units (Special Category) – APFPS 2024–2029
The Andhra Pradesh Food Processing Policy offers a significant incentive to promote inclusive entrepreneurship by providing an additional 10% capital subsidy for Special Category Enterprises, with increased cap limits. Special category enterprises means, enterprises that are wholly owned by women, backward classes (BC), scheduled castes (SC), minorities, specially-abled individuals, or transgender entrepreneurs who are local residents of Andhra Pradesh. This initiative is aimed at empowering underrepresented groups and encouraging their active participation in the state’s growing food processing sector.
