Food processing, dairy, poultry and agri-based units. These often stack with NABARD and PMFME benefits alongside PMEGP margin money.
Pure trading is generally not eligible under PMEGP. The units listed here qualify because they include a value-addition, servicing or processing component.
Applications for these activities are rejected at the KVIC/DIC screening stage. Check this before you spend time on a project report.
KVIC publishes model project profiles on the PMEGP e-Portal (kviconline.gov.in) and on kvic.gov.in under 'Project Profiles'. Those PDFs are generic templates with dated cost figures. The list on this page covers the same project categories but with current cost bands, and each entry opens a project report you can generate with your own numbers, location and bank — which is what the bank actually needs. A downloadable model PDF will not be accepted as your project report.
PMEGP does not publish a closed list of approved projects. Any micro enterprise in manufacturing, service, or agri-allied activity is eligible provided it is a new unit, the promoter is 18+, and the activity is not in the negative list. KVIC circulates model project profiles for roughly 200+ common activities as guidance. The 89 project ideas listed here are the categories most frequently sanctioned by banks under PMEGP.
The PMEGP negative list excludes: any business involving meat processing or serving of meat, liquor and intoxicants, tobacco products (bidi, pan, cigarette), cultivation of crops and horticulture (though value-addition and processing is allowed), sericulture and animal husbandry as primary activity, polythene carry bags below 20 microns, existing units already availing government subsidy, and units that have taken benefit under PMRY, REGP or any other central/state subsidy scheme for the same activity.
₹50 lakh for manufacturing units and ₹20 lakh for service and trading units. These limits were raised from the earlier ₹25 lakh and ₹10 lakh. If your project costs more than the ceiling, PMEGP subsidy is calculated only on the eligible portion up to the ceiling — the balance must come from your own funds or unsubsidised bank finance.
Bank officers do not sanction on profit alone — they sanction on DSCR and repayment capacity. That said, the categories that most consistently clear the 1.50 manufacturing DSCR threshold are: fly ash brick and cement block units, paper cup and disposable manufacturing, dal and flour mills, mineral water plants, and food processing units — because they have predictable input costs and steady local demand. Service units like diagnostic labs and gyms show strong margins but need more careful demand justification in the project report.
Yes. The PMEGP application on the e-Portal requires a project report specific to your unit — your location, your machinery quotations, your capacity, your projected sales. Generic downloaded PDFs are rejected at the bank stage. Pick your activity from the list below and generate a report with your own figures, cost of project, means of finance showing margin money, and year-wise DSCR.
