UP Industrial Investment & Employment Promotion Policy (IIEPP) 2022: Complete Guide
What Is the Policy?
The UP Industrial Investment & Employment Promotion Policy (IIEPP), 2022 is the state's umbrella industrial policy โ the default incentive framework for any manufacturing or notified service project that no sectoral policy covers, and the source of the land, park and single-window reforms the other policies build on. It is administered by the Infrastructure & Industrial Development Department, with Invest UP as the facilitation agency.
Key Incentives
| What | Detail |

| Front-end land subsidy | On land purchase/allotment |
| Capital / investment subsidy | Category-linked (Large / Mega / Super Mega / Ultra Mega) |
| Net SGST reimbursement | Over the implementation window |
| Stamp duty & electricity duty exemption | On qualifying transactions |
| EPF reimbursement | Employer's contribution |
| Interest subsidy + infrastructure interest subsidy | On term loans, incl. infrastructure financing |
| Employment generation subsidy | Booster for a high proportion of women employees |

Eligibility
- New manufacturing units and notified service industries
- Existing units undertaking substantial expansion, diversification or modernisation
- Private industrial park developers โ separately, under the Promotion of Private Industrial Park Scheme (capital subsidy, stamp duty relief, infrastructure support, land aggregation facilitation)
- Check the policy's negative list (excluded activities) before counselling any investor
Is There a Regional Gradation?
Yes โ incentive richness varies by region: Bundelkhand and Purvanchal get the highest rates, Madhyanchal and Paschimanchal the next tier, and Gautam Buddh Nagar and Ghaziabad the lowest. The policy also identifies "champion sectors" (including in services) for enhanced treatment โ check whether your project qualifies.
How to Apply
- Apply through Nivesh Mitra 3.0
- Sanction routes through the District Level Committee, State Level Empowered Committee, or SIPB, depending on the investment quantum
- Confirm your investment category (Large / Mega / Super Mega / Ultra Mega) โ it determines both the incentive package and the implementation window
Frequently Asked Questions
What happens if my project doesn't fit any sectoral policy?
This is the default policy โ if no sector-specific policy (electronics, textiles, pharma, etc.) covers your project, IIEPP 2022 applies.
Does the regional gradation mean Gautam Buddh Nagar gets less?
Yes, on this policy specifically โ it sits in the lowest incentive tier along with Ghaziabad. Investors here may find sector-specific policies or the FDI/Fortune 500 policy more competitive for large projects.
