PMEGP Subsidy: How to Get ₹10 Lakh Free from Government for Your Machine

The Prime Minister's Employment Generation Programme (PMEGP) is one of the best-kept secrets for food business entrepreneurs in India. It offers a 15–35% government subsidy on your total project cost — which includes machines, installation, and working capital.

Who is Eligible?

• Indian citizen aged 18 years or above
• At least 8th standard pass for projects above Γé╣10 lakh
• New entrepreneurs (not existing businesses)
• No income limit for applicants

Subsidy Rates

Urban areas: 15% subsidy (General category) / 25% (SC/ST/Women/Minorities/Ex-Servicemen)
Rural areas: 25% subsidy (General) / 35% (SC/ST/Women/Minorities)

On a Γé╣5 lakh machine investment, a woman entrepreneur in a rural area can receive Γé╣1.75 lakh as a grant — money you never repay.
