Uttar Poorva Transformative Industrialization Scheme (UNNATI) 2024

The Uttar Poorva Transformative Industrialization Scheme, 2024 (UNNATI) is a significant central sector initiative designed to trigger a new era of industrial growth in the North Eastern Region (NER) of India. Launched by the Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT), the scheme aims to create productive employment, foster entrepreneurship, and drive economic development across the eight North Eastern states: Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Manipur, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Nagaland, Sikkim, and Tripura. By providing a comprehensive package of fiscal incentives, the government intends to attract large-scale investments and promote sustainable manufacturing and service sector activities in these geographically strategic locations. The scheme is strategically divided into two parts: Part A focuses on incentives for new and expanding units, while Part B outlines the operational guidelines and implementation framework. Through this transformative approach, the government seeks to integrate the North East into the national value chain, improve infrastructure, and ensure long-term industrial viability for businesses operating in the region. It emphasizes both Greenfield (new) and Brownfield (expansion) projects to ensure a holistic industrial ecosystem. By reducing the cost of doing business through capital investment subsidies and interest subvention, UNNATI aims to bridge the developmental gap between the NER and the rest of India, making it a competitive destination for both domestic and international investors.
