Most units sit in the Focal Point phases and Industrial Areas A and B, and a large share are proprietorships that qualify as micro or small enterprises.
Subsidy Setu works with units in Ludhiana from its office in Hisar, Haryana. Filing is online on the State portal; we travel for site visits and for meetings at the District Industries Centre (DIC), Ludhiana — General Manager whenever a claim needs them.

Questions from Ludhiana
What does the Punjab IBDP 2026 give a new hosiery or cycle-parts unit in Ludhiana?
A capital subsidy of up to 20% of eligible fixed capital investment (capped at ₹10 crore), reimbursement of 75% of Net SGST, and 100% stamp duty and electricity duty relief, all within an overall ceiling of 100% of fixed capital investment for an MSME (125% in border districts, Kandi areas and priority sectors), spread over an eligibility period of 10 to 15 years that the unit chooses once. Expansion of an existing manufacturing unit is covered too. The scheme page has the clause references.
Is the Punjab IBDP 2022 still available?
No. Punjab notified the Industrial and Business Development Policy 2026 on 8 March 2026, superseding IBDP 2022. New applications go under the 2026 policy; if your unit already holds an approval under the 2022 policy, we check its transition provisions before advising.
Do you work in Ludhiana from Hisar?
Yes. The Incentive Common Application Form is filed online on the Invest Punjab portal, and the DPR, projections and documentation are prepared with you over calls and shared folders. We travel for site visits and for meetings at the District Industries Centre when they are needed.
