## ANSWER

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

(a)  to  (e): The  Ministry  of  Food  Processing  industries  (MoFPI)  does  not  setup  any  food processing industries on its own. However, it incentivizes setting up of such industries through its Central Sector Pradhan Mantri Kisan SAMPADA Yojana (PMKSY) Scheme, Production Linked Incentive Scheme for Food Processing Industry (PLISFPI) and Centrally sponsored PM Formalization  of  Micro  Food  Processing  Enterprises  (PMFME)  scheme  across  the  country including  Bihar.  These  schemes  are  not  region  or  state  specific  but  demand  driven  and applications  are  invited  for  financial  assistance  through  Expression  of  Interest  across  the country including Bihar.

Under  PMKSY,  credit  linked  financial  assistance  (capital  subsidy)  is  provided  to entrepreneurs for setting up of food processing industries with total outlay of Rs 5520 Cr for 15th Finance Commission Cycle.

Under PMFME scheme, financial, technical and business support is provided for setting up / upgradation of micro food processing enterprises. The scheme is operational for a period of upto 2025-26 with an outlay of Rs.10,000 Crore.

PLISFPI  is,  inter  alia,  intended  to  support  creation  of  global  food  manufacturing champions and support Indian brands of food products in international market. The Scheme is operational for a period from 2021-22 to 2026-27 with an outlay of Rs. 10,900 crores.

Mega Food Park and Creation of Infrastructure for Agro-processing Clusters (APC) components of PMKSY are aimed at development of such Industries in clusters. The Mega Food  Park  Scheme  has  been  discontinued  by  the  Ministry  since  01.04.2021.  Under  APC

Scheme, grants-in-aid @35% of eligible project cost in General Area and grants-in-aid @50% of eligible project for projects in Difficult Areas as well as SC/ST, FPOs, SHGs, subject to max. of Rs. 10 crore per project  is provided to eligible entrepreneurs.

The details of food processing industries approved for financial assistance under PMKSY and PMFME schemes of MoFPI across the country including Bihar is placed at Annexure.
