PMFME is operational for a period 2020-21 to 2024-25 with an outlay of Rs. 10,000 crore. Under PMFME scheme, MoFPI provides financial, technical  and  business  support  for  setting  up/ upgradation of two lakh micro food processing enterprises.

PLIS-FPI is being implemented over a six-year period from 2021-22 to 2026-27 with an outlay of Rs.10,900 crores and it is intended to support creation of global food manufacturing champions and support Indian brands of food products in international market.
