Who Can Apply / Eligibility
- Products: Notified MMF apparel, MMF fabrics and technical-textile products. Match the exact product description and applicable HSN list; not every textile product is covered.
- Part I - investment commitment: Minimum Rs 150 crore in eligible plant, machinery, equipment and civil works, excluding land and administrative-building cost
- Part I - turnover for incentive: Minimum Rs 600 crore of eligible notified-product manufacturing/sales turnover in Performance Year 1; investment and turnover conditions must both be met

- Part II - turnover for incentive: Minimum Rs 100 crore of eligible notified-product manufacturing/sales turnover in Performance Year 1 under the 28 October Round 4 notification
- Company / project unit: The amended guidelines permit a new/separate company or a separate project unit under the existing company, with distinct books for investment and turnover. Check the applicable entity route before applying.
- Eligible sales: Only the approved notified-product manufacturing/sales and normal banking-channel transactions count under the applicable rules; trading or job-work turnover is not a substitute.
- Later-year growth: At least 10% additional incremental turnover over the immediately preceding year from Performance Year 2, with applicable calculation caps and other conditions
- Existing Round 1, 2 or 3 companies: May apply to migrate only if no incentive has been claimed or received, and subject to withdrawal of the earlier round's application

- Other compliance: Follow the applicable value-addition, quality, record-keeping, audit, product and statutory conditions in the operative guidelines and approval. This notice is not a complete project-eligibility assessment.
Benefits / What You Get
- Nature of assistance: Conditional production-linked manufacturing incentive after selection and verified performance, not a personal cash grant, loan approval or recruitment offer

- Part II notified rates: Performance Year 1 rate: 11%; rate reduces by 1 percentage point each subsequent year to 7% in Year 5, subject to the prescribed eligible-turnover calculation and caps
- No automatic entitlement: Meeting an investment threshold or submitting a form does not guarantee selection, a fixed payment or a return on investment
Documents You Need
- Public registration fields: Organisation name, PAN, GST number, applicant type, target segment and office details; CIN where applicable. The screen also asks for authorised-person details and contact information.
- Official application formats: The portal provides an application sample, letter of authorisation, project-report format and quarterly-review-report sample in its Formats section.
- Project information: Prepare the investment plan, notified-product details, expected turnover, employment and exports, and the prescribed declarations/undertakings under the guidelines.
- Claims and supporting evidence: The base guidelines require audited financial/turnover records and applicable professional certificates for verification. Follow the current account-specific checklist; the public formats are not a complete universal attachment list.
- Data safety: Submit documents and credentials only on the official portal. Sarkari Result PDF does not collect company PAN, bank details, passwords or applications.
Verification & Approval
- Submit the applicable Round 4 application and prescribed information through the official portal during the confirmed window.
- Respond to any document or clarification requests from the Ministry or Project Management Agency.
- Selection and a Letter of Approval are separate from registration; an acknowledgement is not approval.
- Meet the applicable investment and performance conditions, maintain separate records and submit supported incentive claims for official verification.
How to apply / next steps
- Confirm the target segment, exact notified product/HSN and applicable Part I or Part II conditions from the official notifications.
- Read the latest Round 4 notice first. Older documents contain thresholds and timelines that were changed later.
- Use the official registration screen for a new applicant, or the official login for an existing account. No account, OTP or payment was accessed during this check.
- Use the portal's application and project-report formats, and follow the current document, declaration and fee instructions.
- For migration from an earlier round, verify the no-incentive-claimed/received condition and required withdrawal of the earlier application.
- Submit within 1 November-31 December 2026 and retain the official acknowledgement. It does not guarantee selection or incentive payment.
