## ANSWER

## THE MINISTER OF STATE FOR FOOD PROCESSING INDUSTRIES (SHRI RAVNEET SINGH)

- (a).  As per the reports of Annual Survey of Industries (ASI) for registered units and Annual Survey of Unincorporated Sector Enterprises (ASUSE) for the year 2021-22 and 2022-23, the details of the number of food processing units are as below:
- (b) to (d).  Ministry of Food Processing Industries (MoFPI) has been incentivizing food processing units, including small food processing units, for setting up/expansion of units through central sector scheme Pradhan Mantri Kisan SAMPADA Yojana (PMKSY) since 2016-17 and centrally sponsored scheme PM Formalization of Micro Food Processing Enterprises (PMFME) since 2020-21 across the country. These schemes are not region or state specific but demand driven. Under PMKSY, MoFPI provides mostly credit linked financial assistance (capital subsidy) in the form of grants-in-aid for setting  up  of  food  processing/preservation  units.  MoFPI  also  provides  financial,  technical  and business support for setting up/ upgradation of micro food processing  enterprises under PMFME scheme. State-wise information on number of units completed/operational since 2019 under PMKSY and state-wise loans sanctioned under PMFME scheme is at ANNEXURE .
- (e).  Under PMKSY, no project has been sanctioned in the Saharanpur district of Uttar Pradesh. Under PMFME, 39 loans have been sanctioned in the Saharanpur district of Uttar Pradesh till 31 st October, 2024.
