Brief

In order to meet the growing demand of Tools and dies in the country, particularly in the MSME sector, Govt. of India have decided to assist the State Govts.

However, the cost may vary depending upon the activities proposed to be undertaken. The Central assistance will be in the form of one time grant-in-aid equal to 90% of the cost of machinery/equipment (restricted to Rs. 9.00 crores ineach case) in the case of a new Min Tool Room, and 75% of the cost of machinery/equipment (restricted to Rs. 7.50 crores) in case of an existing Mini Tool Room to be upgraded/modernised. The balance cost of machinery/equipment, the cost of land and buildings and the recurring costs would be met by the States/State Agencies. The scheme will be implemented as a Centrally sponsored Scheme, for which approval of the Planning Commission has been obtained.
