PMFME (Pradhan Mantri Micro Food Processing Enterprises Scheme)

Ministry of Food Processing's scheme providing financial, technical, and business support for setting up/upgrading micro food processing enterprises, with an outlay of ₹10,000 crore. As of the scheme's most recent public progress figures, roughly ₹3,791 crore had been released, with about 1.45 lakh loans sanctioned and over 1.16 lakh beneficiaries trained under the program's capacity-building component — training is generally paired with the subsidy application rather than optional. The ₹10,000 crore total outlay runs through the ODOP framework, so an applicant's product category is expected to align with the food product their state/district has designated for support.
