To facilitate wider participation, the minimum turnover requirement for companies has been reduced from Rs 200 crore to Rs 100 crore under the Part 2 category of the scheme, which the ministry said will make more MSMEs and mid-sized manufacturing units eligible to participate.

The tenure of the scheme has been extended up to financial year 2033-34 exclusively for applicants approved under Round 4, to provide them a longer investment and operational horizon for establishing and scaling up manufacturing capacities, the ministry stated.
