As part of the national commitment to sustainable development, the Ministry of Micro, Small & Medium Enterprises (MoMSME) has formulated the MSE-SPICE Scheme to promote Circular Economy (CE) and incentivize MSEs to adopt CE practices in the sector, with a focus on notified regulations such as Plastic, Rubber, and Electronic Waste Management. It will enable MSE units to comply with Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) and waste recycling targets set for industries. SIDBI has been designated as the implementing agency of the scheme.
The scheme aims to provide capital subsidy to brownfield projects by MSEs for upgrading/expanding existing CE projects and promoting CE principles. The maximum project cost admissible under the scheme is ₹50 lakh, with a 25% subsidy on the cost of Plant & Machinery only. However, projects costing more than ₹50 lakh would also be admissible under the scheme, but the subsidy shall be limited to a maximum of ₹12.5 lakh.
