## ANSWER

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

(a) & (b): The Ministry of Food Processing Industries was implementing Mega Food Park scheme (MFPS), a component scheme of Pradhan Mantra Kisan Sampada Yojana (PMSKY) for creating modern infrastructure for the food-processing sector along the value chain from farm to market. As the Ministry does not set up such projects at its own, it had invited Proposals from interested entities/organizations through Expression of Interest (EoI) floated from time to time, in accordance with scheme guidelines. Since inception of the MFP Scheme, the Ministry has approved 41 MFP projects in the country. Out of this 3 projects have been sanctioned in the state of Maharashtra. The  scheme  has  been  discontinued  by  the  Government  w.e.f.  01.04.2021  with  provision  for committed liability during 15 th Finance Commission cycle. The details of the Mega Food Parks approved under MFP scheme including Maharashtra State are at Annexure .

(c): No such proposal. The scheme has been discontinued by the Government w.e.f. 01.04.2021
