Punjab's new industrial policy offers customizable incentives for investors
Business
Punjab just rolled out its Industrial Policy 2026, aiming to pull in ₹75,000 crore in investments this year.
The policy brings flexible incentives, like 20 customizable packages, longer eligibility windows, and easier access to capital subsidies.
Now, even smaller businesses (with ₹25 crore investment and 50 workers) can qualify for employment benefits.
Startup grants now go up to ₹5 lakh
This policy is all about making Punjab a hotspot for young talent and entrepreneurs.
There are bigger startup grants (now up to ₹5 lakh), special perks for hiring women and marginalized groups, and extra incentives if you're working on EVs, defense tech, or green energy.
Projects will get cleared faster (think days instead of months) and border districts get extra support too.
