Maharashtra Economy & Industrial Policy

What are the key provisions and objectives of Maharashtra's Package Scheme of Incentives (PSI)?

  • Core Objective: Provides customized financial incentives including capital subsidies, electricity duty exemptions, and EPF rebates to attract large-scale industrial investments.
  • Regional Focus: Aims to boost backward regions of the state by offering graded incentives based on the development block categorization of districts.
