ANSWER
THE MINISTER OF STATE FOR FOOD PROCESSING INDUSTRIES
(SHRI RAVNEET SINGH)
(a): In order to promote and ensure overall development of food processing sector, Ministry
of Food Processing Industries (MoFPI) has been incentivizing setting up/expansion of related
infrastructure through its two Central Sector Schemes namely Pradhan Mantri Kisan
SAMPADA Yojana (PMKSY) and Production Linked Incentive Scheme for Food Processing
Industry (PLISFPI) and a Centrally sponsored PM Formalization of Micro Food Processing
Enterprises (PMFME) scheme across the country.
Under PMKSY, financial assistance is provided to entrepreneurs for setting up of food
processing industries. The scheme is operational for a period upto 2025-26 with total outlay of
Rs 6520 Crore for 15th Finance Commission Cycle.
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.
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.
The details of projects approved by MoFPI under the said three scheme across the
country since inception of the scheme is given at Annexure.(b) & (c): As on 31.12.2025, 1607 number of projects are approved under various component
schemes of PMKSY. Out of which, 1196 projects have been completed/operationalised and
remaining 411 projects with total project cost of Rs. 10983.35 crore and approved grant of
Rs. 3005.3 crore are at various stages of implementation.
Delay in project implementation is due to various factors, such as the non-receipt of
statutory clearances from the respective Agencies (including the Revenue Authority, Town
Planning, Electricity Authority, Water Authority, Pollution Control Board, Licensing
Authority, etc.). This delays the release of grants, as funds are disbursed only upon submission
of the required documents by the implementing agencies after fulfilling all criteria prescribed
in the respective guidelines of the concerned component scheme under PMKSY.
There has been no overrun in financial assistance approved by MoFPI for these
projects. MoFPI has taken various measures for timely implementation of these projects,
which include (i) Dashboard for monitoring the progress of the projects; (ii) Regularly review
with the promoters to help remove bottlenecks in implementation; (iii) Assessing the progress
of projects though site visits to prevent delays in their completion; (iv) Issues taken up with
the Banks/ Financial Institutions to expedite sanction and disbursement of term loan to the
projects; (v) Penal provisions on the promotors in case of delayed completion of projects; (vi)
MoFPI, on the request of project implementing agencies, also took up the matter with the
concerned department of State Government and their agencies for smooth and timely
implementation.
