UP Pharmaceutical Industry Policy 2018 — Incentive Assistance

The Uttar Pradesh Pharmaceutical Industry Policy, 2018 covered formulation and API units with capital subsidy, interest subsidy, and stamp duty relief. It is administered by the Infrastructure & Industrial Development Department.

Starting a new pharma project today? This 2018 policy is not the right starting point — new applications should go through the 2023 Pharmaceutical & Medical Device Policy instead. This page is for units that already hold, or are trying to determine, eligibility under the 2018 policy.

What it covered

• Capital subsidy for formulation and API units
• Interest subsidy on term loans
• Stamp duty relief

Who this applies to

Units whose Letter of Comfort (LoC) or registration date falls within the 2018 policy window, and who already hold or are pursuing eligibility under it. A unit can switch to the 2023 policy only with the sanctioning committee's approval, and only before its Eligibility Certificate is issued — not after.

How we help

• Confirming whether your LoC/registration date puts you under the 2018 or 2023 policy window
• Checking whether switching to the 2023 policy is still possible, if your Eligibility Certificate hasn't been issued yet
• If you already hold a 2018-policy Eligibility Certificate, working out your entitlement against its specific terms

Message us your registration date and current status, and we'll tell you — free of charge — which policy governs your entitlement and what the next step looks like.
