Posted On: 25 MAR 2025 5:48PM by PIB Delhi

The Government runs many credit Schemes for small traders, farmers and startups. The details of few of these schemes are mentioned below.

It provides collateral-free institutional credit through Member Lending Institutions (MLIs) i.e. Scheduled Commercial Banks (SCBs), Regional Rural Banks (RRBs), Non-Banking Financial Companies (NBFCs) and Micro Finance Institutions (MFIs).

Any individual, who is otherwise eligible to take a loan and has a business plan can avail loan under the Scheme. The loan is available for income generating activities in the manufacturing, trading, services sector and also for activities allied to agriculture across four loan products, viz. Shishu (loans up to Rs. 50,000), Kishore (loans above Rs. 50,000 and up to Rs. 5 lakh) and Tarun (loans above Rs. 5 lakh and up to Rs. 10 lakh).  Loans upto Rs. 20 lakh under Tarun Plus category are given to those entrepreneurs who have availed and successfully repaid previous loans under the ‘Tarun’ category.

The objective of the Scheme is to facilitate loans from Scheduled Commercial Banks (SCBs) of value between Rs. 10 lakh and    Rs. 1 crore to at least one Scheduled Caste (SC) or Scheduled Tribe (ST) borrower and one Woman borrower per bank branch for setting up greenfield enterprise in manufacturing, services or trading sector, including activities allied to agriculture.

Under both the Schemes, the prospective borrowers may avail the loan for trading, activities allied to agriculture and for new business.

As per para 32 of Union Budget 2025-26 “A new scheme will be launched for 5 lakh women, Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes first- time entrepreneurs. This will provide term loans upto Rs.2.00 crore during next 5 years.  The Scheme will incorporate lessons from successful Stand Up India Scheme.  Online capacity building for entrepreneurship and managerial skills will also be organized.”

Kisan Credit Card (KCC), introduced in 1998, is a banking product that provides farmers with timely and affordable credit for purchasing agricultural inputs such as seeds, fertilizers, and pesticides, as well as for meeting cash requirements related to crop production and allied activities.  In 2019, the KCC scheme was extended to cover the working capital requirements of allied activities, viz. Animal Husbandry, Dairy and Fisheries.

Government of India under Modified Interest Subvention Scheme provides Interest Subvention of 1.5% to banks for providing short-term working capital loans upto Rs. 3 lakh at 7% p.a. Further, a Prompt Repayment Incentive of 3% is also provided to farmers on timely repayment of loans. Therefore, effective interest rate for farmers is 4%. In the Union Budget 2025-26, the Government has announced to enhance loan limit under the MISS from Rs. 3 lakh to Rs. 5 lakh for loans taken through the KCC.

The Jan Samarth portal is a one-stop digital platform for linking fifteen Government-sponsored loans and subsidies Schemes. It provides a quick and efficient way to apply for loans and obtain approvals based on a digital evaluation of the applicant’s data. Further, many Banks and financial institutions have developed online platforms and mobile apps for end to end digital processing of loan applications, reducing the need for physical paperwork and in-person visits.   

This information was given by Minister of State in the Ministry of Finance Shri Pankaj Chaudhary written reply to a question in Rajya Sabha today.

The country is also advancing in sustainable mobility, with 4.4 million Electric Vehicles (EV) registered by August 2024, including 9.5 lakh in the first eight months of 2024, achieving a 6.6% market penetration. To support this growth, the government has implemented initiatives such as the Production Linked Incentive (PLI) Scheme for Advanced Chemistry Cell (ACC) battery storage. In the 2024-25 Budget, the government allocated INR 2,671.33 crore under the FAME scheme and proposed the exemption of customs duties from the import of critical minerals required for EV cell components manufacturing.

Additionally, in March 2024, the Electric Mobility Promotion Scheme (EMPS) was launched with an INR 500 Crore outlay for four months, specifically targeting support for the two and three-wheeler segments to expedite the transition to electric vehicles. These initiatives align with the recent discovery of lithium deposits in Jammu & Kashmir, positioning India to become a key player in the global battery manufacturing industry in the coming years. The Indian EV sector is likewise developing quickly and is predicted to record a growth of USD 113.99 billion in 2029.

As per the inputs provided by Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers (SIAM), the total annual production of Electric Vehicles (EVs) in India during the last five years, year-wise is as given below:

 

The Ministry of Heavy Industries has formulated the following schemes to promote electric vehicles (EVs) and to address the various challenges faced in adoption of electric mobility including availability and accessibility of charging stations in the country:

  1. Faster Adoption and Manufacturing of (Hybrid &) Electric Vehicles in India (FAME India) Scheme Phase-II: The Government implemented this scheme for a period of five years from 1 April 2019 with a total budgetary support of INR 11,500 Crore. The scheme incentivised e-2Ws, e-3Ws, e-4Ws, e-buses and EV public charging stations. The Department of Heavy Industries has also sanctioned 2636 charging stations in 62 cities across 24 States/UTs under phase II. State-wise allocation of these charging stations is as follows:

 

  1. Production Linked Incentive (PLI) Scheme for Automobile and Auto Component Industry in India (PLI-Auto): The Government notified this scheme on 23 September 2021 for Automobile and Auto Component Industry in India for enhancing India’s manufacturing capabilities for Advanced Automotive Technology (AAT) products with a budgetary outlay of INR 25,938 Crore. The scheme proposes financial incentives to boost domestic manufacturing of AAT products with minimum 50% Domestic Value Addition (DVA) and attract investments in the automotive manufacturing value chain.
