The "Aatmanirbhar Gujarat Scheme for Assistance to Mega Industries" aims to strengthen the overall industrial ecosystem in the State and also enable a larger set of manufacturing companies to emulate the adoption of clean energy and make them future-ready to compete in global markets.
In detail
The "Aatmanirbhar Gujarat Scheme for Assistance to Mega Industries" is an umbrella scheme launched by the Industries and Mines Department, Gujarat. It aims to empower the state's dynamic mega-industry sector, which significantly contributes to employment, GDP, and exports. Effective from October 5, 2022, to October 4, 2032, this initiative supports growth, investments, and the vision of "Aatmanirbhar Gujarat" and "Aatmanirbhar Bharat."
The component "EPF Reimbursement" offers financial support to eligible Mega Industrial Units in Gujarat by reimbursing the employer's contribution to the Employees’ Provident Fund (EPF) for new employees.

- The unit must provide direct employment to at least 2,500 persons.
- The unit must belong to one of the thrust sectors as defined in the Guidelines (Refer Page No. 9). 1. Only new employees who do not have a Universal Account Number (UAN) before joining the unit are eligible.
- The reimbursement is only for incremental employee count post-expansion.
What you get
- Reimbursement: 100% reimbursement of employer’s statutory EPF contribution.- Incentive Ceiling: 12% of basic salary + DA or ₹1800/- per month, whichever is lower.
Who is excluded
