The Agro Processing Cluster (APC) component of PMKSY funds modern common infrastructure using a cluster approach — reducing wastage, boosting value addition and creating jobs.
A cluster needs a minimum investment of ₹25 crore across at least 5 food processing units, on minimum 10 acres (5 acres in urban areas), developed by an SPV / legal entity.
Grant-in-aid of 35% of eligible project cost in general areas and 50% for difficult areas, SC-ST, FPOs and SHGs, up to ₹10 crore. Basic enabling infrastructure is capped at 40% of eligible cost; core processing infrastructure makes up the rest. Released in three equal instalments.
From eligibility mapping to grant release, we manage the whole journey — bankable DPR, bank tie-up, application, approvals and claims. With 125+ projects across 20+ states, we know what gets sanctioned.
