Definition
of Technology Up gradation
·
Technology up gradation would
ordinarily mean induction of state-of-the-art or near state-of-the-art
technology. In the varying mosaic of technology obtaining in more than 7500
products in the Indian small scale sector, technology up gradation would mean a
significant step up from the present technology level to a substantially higher
one involving improved productivity, and/or improvement in the quality of
products and/or improved environmental conditions including work environment
for the unit. It would also include installation of improved packaging
techniques as well as anti-pollution measures and energy conservation
machinery. Further, the units in need of introducing facilities for in-house
testing and on-line quality control would qualify for assistance, as the same
is a case of technology up gradation.
·
Replacement
of existing equipment/technology with the same equipment/technology will not
qualify for subsidy under this scheme, nor would the scheme be applicable to
units upgrading with second hand machinery.
Other
conditions for loans
·
Promoters' contribution, security,
debt-equity ratio, up-front fee, etc. will be determined by the lending agency
as per its existing norms.
·
Units availing subsidy under the
CLCSS shall not avail any other subsidy for technology up gradation from the
Central/State/UT Government. However, cases covered under National Equity Fund
(NEF) Scheme, which are otherwise eligible under the CLCSS can also be covered
under this scheme.
·
Units in the North-Eastern Region
which are availing financial incentives/subsidy under any other scheme from the
Government in the Region would, however, be eligible for subsidy under the
CLCSS.
·
One of the main requirements for
sanction of assistance under the technology up gradation scheme will be availability
of competent management in the unit concerned to carry out the up gradation
program and to manage the operation of the unit efficiently. Towards this end,
the lending agencies may stipulate conditions as may be considered necessary
