17 16 State government initiatives (1/2) MAHARASHTRA STATE INDUSTRIAL POLICY, 2017 Maharashtra Agro-Processing and Agri-Marketing Promotion Policy State government announced a Package Scheme of Incentives. The scheme covers cold storages and mechanized food/agro processing industries in addition to other industries. It offers Financial Incentives linked to fixed capital, Industrial Promotion Subsidy (IPS), exemption from electricity duty, waiver of stamp duty, power tariff subsidy, capital subsidy to MSME for technology up gradation; quality certification; cleaner production etc. Quantum of these incentives varies with turnover and location of the industry. Single window clearances Digitalizing Land Records: Property registration application and payment has been made online Single window form available for processing of investment application Single log in for providing seamless access to investors The registration process to avail incentives has been simplified and the number of documents required has been reduced substantially. The Union Ministry of Food Processing has listed Maharashtra among the 4 states with potential to derive maximum benefits from policy reforms in food processing. The inadequate food processing sector also is a primary reason for poor remunerations farmers get. They cannot bargain in absence of robust market linkages.
