Introduction: Maharashtra Logistics Subsidy 2024
The Government of Maharashtra introduced the Maharashtra Logistics Policy 2024 to transform the state into India’s most advanced logistics ecosystem. With strong incentives, dedicated logistics hubs, and large-scale infrastructure support, the policy aims to reduce logistics costs, improve supply chain efficiency, and promote private investment in logistics parks, truck terminals, and multimodal facilities.
For developers, investors, warehouse operators, logistics companies, and infrastructure entrepreneurs, the Maharashtra Logistics Subsidy 2024 offers one of the most attractive capital subsidy structures in India. However, interpreting the eligibility criteria, calculating FCI, preparing DPRs, meeting zoning compliance, and submitting subsidy applications require specialized consultancy support.
Overview of Maharashtra Logistics Subsidy 2024
The Maharashtra Logistics Subsidy 2024 aims to promote logistics infrastructure through incentives for:
- Logistics Parks (Small, Large, Mega, Ultra-Mega)
- Multi Modal Logistics Parks (MMLPs)
- Integrated Truck Terminals (ITTs)
- Green Logistics Parks
- Warehousing & cold-chain support functions
- Advanced logistics tech infrastructure
The policy supports investment through:
- Capital subsidy (based on Fixed Capital Investment)
- Additional incentives for green compliance
- Land & infrastructure relaxations
- Operational benefits such as industrial power tariffs
- Exclusive incentives for dedicated logistics hubs like Nagpur–Wardha and Navi Mumbai–Pune corridors
Capital Subsidy Structure – Logistics Park Subsidy Maharashtra
One of the most powerful components of the policy is the capital subsidy logistics park in Maharashtra, designed to support logistics parks of varying scales. Subsidy is calculated on the Fixed Capital Investment (FCI), excluding land cost.

The subsidy is applicable only in Zone 1 and Zone 2 of the state (as per classification under the industry policy). Investors must verify zoning before planning the project—Finraja Consultancy assists in eligibility verification.
Fixed Capital Investment (FCI)—Most Critical Component
The policy strictly defines fixed capital investment for logistics subsidy.
What is counted under FCI?
- Construction of warehouses & logistics buildings
- Roads inside the project
- Platform & handling infrastructure
- Sewage/utility network
- Cold storage units
- Electrical & safety installations
- Parking bays
- Docking infrastructure
- Weighbridges
- Digital systems (automation, IoT, CCTV, RFID, etc.)
Special Rule for Integrated Truck Terminals
For integrated truck terminals, only 25% of land cost may be included in FCI.
This single rule affects subsidy calculation drastically, and incorrect FCI computation is one of the most common reasons projects fail to qualify. Therefore, professional subsidy consultants like Finraja ensure FCI is structured properly from the beginning.
Integrated Truck Terminal Subsidy Maharashtra
Integrated Truck Terminals (ITTs) play a key role in easing highway congestion and improving freight movement. Under the policy, ITTs receive:
- 20% Capital Subsidy (on eligible FCI)
- Dedicated support for parking, repair bays, dormitories, and fleet movement facilities
These projects require precise planning because FCI rules are unique for ITTs, and approval requires multi-agency coordination—Finraja manages the full DPR, drawings, compliance, and subsidy documentation.
Green Logistics Park Incentives Maharashtra
Sustainability-focused projects receive additional financial benefits.
Green Incentives Include
- Additional 10% subsidy on top of base subsidy
- Incentives for EV fleet charging bays
- Support for solar rooftop installations
- Exemptions for green-certified warehouses
- Encouragement for EV and hybrid cargo vehicle procurement
To claim the green incentive, the project must meet environmental benchmarks and obtain certification—Finraja handles the end-to-end green compliance process.
Multi Modal Logistics Park Maharashtra (MMLP)
The MMLP program is aligned with the national PM Gati Shakti vision. Maharashtra’s policy promotes:
- Road and rail connectivity
- Dedicated freight corridors
- Container terminals
- Intermodal cargo processing
MMLPs attract long-term logistics investors, large corporates, and infrastructure developers. With high investment (₹100–500 Cr range), subsidy optimization and proper FCI structuring become critical.
Major Logistics Hubs – Additional Incentives
The policy highlights two major strategic corridors:
1. Nagpur Wardha Logistics Hub Incentives
This central logistics corridor is designed as a National Mega Logistics Hub.
Benefits include:
- Priority land allocation
- Better connectivity infrastructure
- Faster approval timelines
- Eligibility for capital subsidies
- Potential for additional infrastructure support
Projects in this region benefit from Maharashtra’s strategic central location.
2. Navi Mumbai Pune Logistics Hub Subsidy
This hub leverages proximity to:
- Navi Mumbai International Airport
- JNPT Port
- Industrial clusters in Pune & Raigad
Projects here gain:
- Capital subsidy under the policy
- Multi-modal integration advantages
- Faster logistics park monetization potential
Logistics Policy Eligibility Criteria Maharashtra
To qualify for the Maharashtra Logistics Subsidy 2024, the project must meet the following:
- The project must be in Zone 1 or Zone 2
- Meet minimum land area requirement
- Meet minimum FCI threshold for the category
- The project must comply with infrastructure specifications
- Must complete construction within the defined development period
- The project must meet environmental & safety norms
- Applicant must be a registered entity (company / LLP / partnership)
These eligibility parameters must be validated before investment; otherwise, the project may become ineligible—Finraja performs a detailed pre-investment eligibility audit.
