2nd Loan for up-gradation of the existing PMEGP/REGP/ MUDRA units in Alappuzha

The “2nd Loan for up-gradation of the existing PMEGP/REGP/MUDRA units” is a financial assistance scheme under the Ministry of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises. It supports existing units—originally set up under PMEGP, REGP, or MUDRA—that are performing well and are ready to expand and upgrade.

Under this scheme, eligible units can receive a margin-money subsidy of 15% of the project cost, which rises to 20% for units located in the North Eastern Region (NER) and Hill States, helping them grow their capacity and modernise their operations.
