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

(a): During the 15 th Finance Commission cycle (2021-22 to 31/01/2026) , 562 projects under various components  of  the  restructured  Pradhan  Mantri  Kisan  Sampada  Yojana (PMKSY)  have  been operationalised across the country including in Andhra Pradesh, Jammu and Kashmir and Odisha.

These projects have mobilised substantial private investment and created modern food processing and post-harvest management infrastructure such as cold chains, processing units and value addition facilities. The infrastructure created under the scheme contributes to reduction in post-harvest losses, enhanced value addition to agricultural produce and better price realisation for farmers.

The  State-wise  details  including  Andhra  Pradesh,  UT  of  Jammu  &  Kashmir  of  projects operationalised along with cumulative investment mobilised are placed at Annexure-I . No project has been approved in Nabarangpur Lok Sabha Constituency, Odisha under PMKSY till 31.01.2026.

(b): Under the  Integrated  Cold  Chain  and  Value  Addition  Infrastructure  component  of  PMKSY, during the last two years, a total of 12.62 Lakh MT Per annum additional processing capacity (11.17 LMT per annum) and preservation capacity (1.37 LMT per annum) has been created through projects supported under this component in various States including Rajasthan, Odisha, Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh.

No  project  has  been  approved  in  Pali  Constituency  (Rajasthan),  Nabarangpur  Constituency (Odisha), Jalgaon district  (Maharashtra)  and  Palnadu district  (Andhra  Pradesh)  under the  Integrated Cold Chain and Value Addition Infrastructure component of PMKSY. The State-wise details of capacity created  including  Rajasthan,  Odisha,  Maharashtra,  Andhra  Pradesh  and  Uttar  Pradesh  are  placed  at Annexure-II .

(c): To revive legacy Mega Food Park projects with committed liabilities, the Government has taken several measures, which include:

- (i) Regular monitoring and review meetings with project promoters and State Governments; to  facilitate  resolution  of  implementation  issues  relating  to  land,  utilities,  statutory approvals and financial closure;
- (ii) Faster release of admissible grants as per scheme guidelines upon achievement of project milestones;
- (iii) Extension of timelines on a case-to-case basis to enable completion and operationalisation of the projects.

(d): Under the Mega Food Park (MFP) component of PMKSY scheme, as on 31.01.2026, 41 number of projects have been approved out of which 25 projects are completed/operational, with a project cost of Rs. 2929.84 crores, generated 71348 employment opportunities (direct and indirect) and benefited 65277 number of farmers. No project under the Farmer Producer Organization has been approved in Mega Food Park scheme.

(e) & (f): The responsibility  of  execution,  ownership  and  management  of  the  Mega  Food  Park (MFP) including those located in Andhra Pradesh and Odisha (including Nabarangpur region) vests with a Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) / Implementing Agency (IA). However, Ministry has taken several measures to expedite their early operationalization and completion which are as follows:

- i. Ministry is regularly seeking Monthly Progress Report (MPRs) from the SPVs/ IAs regarding progress of respective parks.
- ii. Ministry also monitors project  progress  through  Programme  Management Agencies (PMAs). The PMAs regularly interact with SPVs/IAs, also conduct site visits and advice in respect of issues regarding implementation faced by the SPVs/ IAs.
- iii. Ministry  is  also  conducting  regular  review  meetings  at  the  level  of  Hon'ble Minister,  FPI,  Secretary,  FPI  and  Joint  Secretary  to  assess  the  implementation status and progress of the projects.
- iv. The  Ministry  is  providing  the  projects  all  possible  support  and  hand  holding including interaction with various concerned Departments/ Agencies of the State Governments at all levels and tries to coordinate and get the issues resolved.
- v. After starting of the scheme several amendments to the scheme Guidelines were made to simplify the Guidelines and to make the implementation easier.
- vi. To populate the approved MFPs with food processing units, exclusive Expression of Interest (EOI) for establishment of Food processing units have been called for under the scheme for Creation / Expansion of Food Processing & Preservation Capacities (CEFPPC) of the Ministry and later on, certain percentage of funds have been specifically earmarked for food processing units in Mega Food Parks (MFPs) and Agro processing clusters (APCs).

Ministry  has  approved  3  projects  in  the  state  of  Andhra  Pradesh.  No  project  has  been  approved  in Nabrangpur  constituency.  The  projects  of  Andhra  Pradesh  have  generated  direct  and  indirect employment of 24275 persons. The details are at Annexure - III.

(g): One  project  namely  M/s  Indus  Best  Mega  Food  Park  Pvt  Ltd.,  was  approved  in  Raipur, Chhattisgarh on 04.06.2014 under the Mega Food Park scheme with total project cost of               ₹ 96.48 Crore and Grant-in-aid of ₹ 39.57 Crore has been released. The project is operational. As the above scheme has been discontinued w.e.f. 01.04.2021 with provision only for committed liabilities during 15th Finance Commission cycle, therefore, no proposal for MFP is under consideration of the Ministry.

(h): PMKSY is a demand driven scheme and applications are invited through Expression of Interest (EoI) from all over the country. The funds are not allocated/sanctioned/released State-wise under any of the  component schemes of PMKSY. The proposals received are scrutinized for their eligibility and evaluated based on the criteria fixed as per the extant scheme guidelines. Merit based approvals are given to the eligible proposals based on availability of funds.

No project under PMKSY has been approved in Sidhi Lok Sabha Constituency so far.
