Our specialized subsidy division bridges this gap, handling end-to-end processing for mega food parks, cold storage systems, and agro-processing clusters.
We work client-side to structure applications in complete alignment with current ministry guidelines, preventing technical rejections and unlocking non-refundable financial assistance to drastically optimize your project return on investment (ROI).

Main Documents Required for Subsidy
All uploaded documents on the SAMPADA portal must be self-attested. No physical applications are accepted.
1. Business & Finance
- PAN & Aadhaar Card of promoters/directors
- GST & Udyam/MSME Registration
- Company Incorporation / Partnership Deed
- Term Loan Sanction Letter & Bank Appraisal
- CA Certificate & Net worth certificate
- Audited balance sheets (last 2–3 years)
2. Project & Land
- Detailed Project Report (DPR)
- Plant layout & process flow
- Quotations of machinery from OEM
- Sale deed / Long-term Lease deed
- Land conversion & Site layout
Statutory Approvals
- FSSAI License, Pollution NOC, Electricity connection proof, Factory license, and Fire NOC.
- Important: Machinery quotations should clearly separate basic cost, GST, installation, and freight. Bank sanction should match DPR project cost exactly.
Integrated Cold Chain Focus
For MOFPI Integrated Cold Chain & Value Addition Infrastructure schemes, the DPR quality is critical and bank sanction figures must match the DPR exactly.
- DPR Must Include: Project concept, technical specifications, refrigeration system details (Ammonia/Freon), financial projections, and break-even analysis.
- Mandatory Locations: MOFPI specifically requires Farm Level Infrastructure (FLI) locations to be clearly mentioned in the DPR and bank appraisal.
- Machinery Documents: Quotations from OEMs, technical brochures, utility load calculations, and PUF panel/compressor specifications.
- Project Components Covered: Farm Level Infrastructure, Processing Centre, Distribution Hub, and Refrigerated Transport.
Practical Tip: Incomplete DPRs and land title issues are the biggest rejection reasons. The Processing Centre is usually mandatory, and the cold chain flow should visibly show "farm-to-consumer integration."
Technical Dossier Compilation & Compliance
