The policy covers the whole State, subject to specific GHMC/location restrictions. MSMEs established from 18-09-2024 to 31-03-2029 in existing/developed industrial estates/parks within GHMC can qualify, whereas certain specified industrial estates remain excluded.
Important location condition
Within GHMC:
The policy covers eligible industrial activities listed in its schedules/annexures.
Typical eligible sectors include:
Important: eligibility should be checked against the policy's eligible/ineligible activity list before preparing the subsidy calculation.
The current MSME classification is based on the Government of India's revised MSME framework.
| Enterprise | Investment in Plant & Machinery / Equipment | Annual Turnover |
|---|---|---|
| Micro | Up to ₹2.5 crore | Up to ₹10 crore |
| Small | Up to ₹25 crore | Up to ₹100 crore |
| Medium | Up to ₹125 crore | Up to ₹500 crore |
The Telangana MSME framework provides several incentives.
The historical T-IDEA structure provides:
| Category | Investment Subsidy |
|---|---|
| Micro & Small | 15% of investment, subject to maximum ₹20 lakh |
| SC/ST – T-PRIDE | 35% of investment, subject to maximum ₹75 lakh |
| SC/ST in Scheduled Areas | Additional applicable benefit |
The official Telangana industrial incentive material identifies investment subsidy, power reimbursement, interest subsidy, SGST reimbursement and other benefits under the State framework.
For a new MSME established under the 2024 policy, the latest MSME Policy 2024 and its operational guidelines should be used for the exact current subsidy calculation rather than automatically applying the older T-IDEA table.
A major Telangana incentive is reimbursement of fixed power cost.
T-IDEA framework
₹1 per unit for 5 years from commencement of commercial production.
The official DIC information confirms this benefit for eligible general-category enterprises.
Special-category enterprises may receive enhanced benefits under T-PRIDE.

| Category | Interest Subsidy |
|---|---|
| Micro & Small | 100% for 5 years |
| Medium | 75% for 7 years |
| Large | 50% for 7 years |
The benefit is subject to the applicable limits/conditions of the policy.
The Telangana industrial incentive framework includes SGST reimbursement.
For the earlier T-IDEA structure:
| Category | SGST/VAT Reimbursement |
|---|---|
| Micro & Small | Excess of 3%, subject to maximum 9% under the cited framework |
| Medium | 75% for 7 years |
| Large | 50% for 7 years |
The exact current benefit should be determined under the applicable MSME Policy 2024 guidelines and project date, because the State has subsequently moved to the new MSME policy framework.
