TN-Cluster Growth Plan
Cluster-level infrastructure and common-facility support for Tamil Nadu MSMEs seeking shared technology, testing and productivity improvements.
About this Service
Tamil Nadu promotes MSME cluster development through state agencies such as TANSIDCO and through convergence with applicable central cluster programmes. Assistance can support common facility centres, shared machinery, testing, design, training and other competitiveness infrastructure. Since “TN-Cluster Growth Plan” is not a distinct notified title, the exact subsidy percentage and cap should be linked to the current cluster programme used for the project.
