1.44 Lakh Micro Food Units Backed under PMFME

The Ministry of Food Processing Industries (MoFPI) has been driving the growth and development of India’s food processing sector through various initiatives. These include two Central Sector Schemes — Pradhan Mantri Kisan SAMPADA Yojana (PMKSY) and the Production Linked Incentive Scheme for Food Processing Industry (PLISFPI) — along with the centrally sponsored PM Formalization of Micro Food Processing Enterprises (PMFME) scheme. These schemes, which are demand-driven and implemented nationwide, provide financial, technical, and business support for establishing and upgrading food processing enterprises.

Under the PMFME scheme, individual micro enterprises are eligible for a credit-linked capital subsidy of 35% of the project cost, up to a maximum of ?10 lakh per unit. As of June 30, 2025, 1,44,517 micro food processing enterprises have been approved for assistance under the scheme. Additionally, under its capacity-building component, MoFPI has supported training programs for 1,16,666 beneficiaries, including trainers, district resource persons, and entrepreneurs, to enhance entrepreneurship development and product-specific skills for the food processing industry.

The projects approved under PMKSY and PLISFPI also cover enterprises in the MSME sector, serving as a catalyst for their growth. In Bihar alone, MoFPI has approved 13 projects under PMKSY, 7 proposals under PLISFPI, and 25,349 proposals under PMFME up to June 30, 2025.

This information was shared by Minister of State for Food Processing Industries, Shri Ravneet Singh, in a written reply in the Lok Sabha.
