UP Aerospace & Defence Policy 2024 — Incentive Assistance

Land subsidy in UPDIC's six nodes, capital subsidy, and certification/patent reimbursement for defence and aerospace manufacturing — we help you navigate eligibility and file your claim.

The UP Aerospace & Defence Policy, 2024 covers manufacturing of defence and aerospace platforms, systems, components, ammunition, drones and counter-drone systems, avionics, and testing/certification facilities — anchored around the Uttar Pradesh Defence Industrial Corridor (UPDIC).

The six UPDIC nodes

Aligarh, Agra, Jhansi, Chitrakoot, Kanpur, and Lucknow — developed by UPEIDA with dedicated land and infrastructure for anchor and ancillary defence units.

Key incentives

Land subsidy in UPDIC nodes
Capital subsidy on eligible investment
Stamp duty exemption
SGST reimbursement
Interest subsidy
Certification, patent & skill development reimbursement — this matters disproportionately here, given how much testing and certification defence supply requires

Who it's for

Anchor units in UPDIC nodes
Ancillary and component units, including electronics suppliers based outside a node who supply into the corridor
MSMEs in the defence supply chain
Testing and certification infrastructure developers
