A cluster is a group of enterprises located within an identifiable and as far as practicable, contiguous area and producing same / similar products / services. The essential characteristics of enterprises in a cluster are (a) Similarity or complementarity in the methods of production, quality control and testing, energy consumption, pollution control, etc (b) Similar level of technology and marketing strategies / practices (c) Similar channels for communication among the members of the cluster (d) Common challenges and opportunities.

Objectives of the Scheme:

ii) To build capacity of MSEs for common supportive action through formation of self help groups, consortia, upgradation of associations, etc.

(iii) To create/upgrade infrastructural facilities in the new/existing industrial areas/ clusters of MSEs, including setting up of Flatted Factory Complexes.

(iv) To set up common facility centres (for testing, training centre, raw material depot, effluent treatment, complementing production processes, etc.)

The GoI grant will be restricted to 60% of the cost of project of Rs 10.00 crore.
