AI SummaryHaryana government is running PADMA Yojana across 143 blocks of the state in 2026, offering subsidies of up to 85 percent to local MSME units under Programme to Accelerate Development for MSME Advancement. Directorate of MSME, Haryana has notified five separate sub-schemes under this programme, and mini industrial parks with plug and play sheds are being built in blocks across the state.
Scheme was first launched by Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar on 23 February 2022 with an investment target of over ₹25,000 crore. It was later re-notified through an official gazette notification to widen its scope and add fresh sub-schemes. This article covers PADMA sub-schemes, subsidy amounts, eligibility and the way MSME units in Haryana can get benefit from cluster infrastructure under this scheme in 2026.
What is PADMA Yojana Haryana?
PADMA stands for Programme to Accelerate Development for MSME Advancement. Main aim is to build industrial infrastructure at block level so that small and medium units get shared facilities, easy finance and market access close to where they operate. One product has been identified in each block based on local resources, existing units and demand, and Directorate of MSME acts as nodal department for the whole programme.
Scheme originally covered 140 blocks across 22 districts when it was announced in 2022. Coverage has since gone up to 143 blocks, with plans to set up at least one industrial cluster of minimum 25 acres in every block. Other departments such as HSIIDC, Department of Industries and Commerce, Town and Country Planning, and Skill Development and Industrial Training also support the rollout.
PADMA Yojana 2026 Update - New Sub-Schemes and Industrial Parks
PADMA was re-notified through a gazette notification in March 2023, giving it a formal legal backing beyond the launch announcement. In March 2024, Directorate of MSME notified five separate sub-schemes under PADMA, each with its own guidelines and application format. This split has made it easier for MSME units to apply for the exact type of support they need instead of one general scheme.
By 2025, Haryana had started building mini industrial parks in all 143 blocks under a component called Cluster Plug and Play. Each park is planned to have at least 10 ready-to-use sheds along with shared infrastructure such as power, water and roads, so that a new unit does not need to build everything from scratch. State government has also approved a cluster development plan worth around ₹170 crore covering 11 MSME clusters, and target is to add 50 more Common Facility Centres along with one PADMA park in every district by 2026.
Five PADMA Sub-Schemes
PADMA is no longer a single scheme. It has been split into five sub-schemes, each covering a different need of MSME units, from setting up a unit to getting design and export support.
- PADMA Capital Investment Subsidy Scheme - gives subsidy on capital investment made in plant, machinery and building for setting up or expanding a unit inside a PADMA cluster.
- PADMA Cluster Infrastructure Development Scheme - supports development of common infrastructure such as roads, power lines, water supply and Common Facility Centres inside industrial clusters.
- PADMA Designing, Branding, Marketing & Exports Promotion Scheme - helps units with product design, branding, packaging and reaching export markets for their cluster product.
- PADMA Entrepreneurship Acceleration Scheme - supports training, incubation and handholding for new entrepreneurs, including women and youth, who want to set up a unit in a cluster.
- PADMA Interest Subsidy Scheme - gives subsidy on interest paid on term loans taken by MSME units for setting up operations in a PADMA cluster.
Benefits and Subsidy Under PADMA Yojana
Support given under PADMA changes with the category of the block and the size of the land developed by an applicant, but overall subsidy on eligible project cost can go up to 85 percent, with maximum support capped at ₹45 crore for large cluster infrastructure projects.
- Capital subsidy of up to ₹30 lakh on plant, machinery and building cost for eligible units.
- Interest subsidy between 5 and 7 percent on term loans taken for setting up a unit in a cluster.
