What is ODOC Scheme UP?
Launched in 2026 for the traditional and distinctive food products identified for each district. Government Order No. I/1355446/2026/18-4099/18/2026 of 5 June 2026 sets out a financing scheme, a marketing scheme and training.
Bank-financed units get margin money from the State on the same slabs as the ODOP scheme — 25% of project cost up to ₹6.25 lakh for projects up to ₹25 lakh; ₹6.25 lakh or 20% (whichever is higher) for ₹25–50 lakh; ₹10 lakh or 10% (whichever is higher) for ₹50 lakh–₹1.5 crore; and 10% up to ₹50 lakh above ₹1.5 crore — adjusted as a grant after two years of successful operation.
Eligible spending includes automatic production machines, packaging and labelling machines, deep freezers, reefer vans and mini cold rooms, food-testing equipment, shelf-life machinery and cloud kitchens.
The marketing scheme reimburses 75% of stall, freight and travel costs for fairs in UP, elsewhere in India and abroad, and 75% of the cost of quality upgrades, FSSAI and other licences, ISO/HACCP/NABL certification, GI registration, export samples, packaging and e-commerce onboarding, within ₹10 lakh a year.
