Zone B Profile and Incentives
Mysuru district qualifies for Zone B Karnataka MSME Policy incentives — 20% capital subsidy on eligible fixed investment in new manufacturing units, along with stamp duty and registration fee concessions and electricity duty relief. These follow the standard post-commencement DIC claim process.
The Nanjangud Industrial Character
Nanjangud, 25km from Mysuru, has developed a distinct industrial character around pharmaceuticals and electronics manufacturing. Long-established large units have created a proven anchor environment that attracts MSME ancillary suppliers to the area. A new MSME entering as a supplier to an established Nanjangud anchor unit has a specific, credible market case to build into its DPR market analysis section that goes beyond generic industry statistics.
Food Processing in the Cauvery Corridor
Mysuru, Mandya, and Chamrajnagar districts constitute Karnataka primary agro-processing geography. Food processing MSMEs benefit from raw material proximity advantages covered in our food processing subsidy guide, including cold chain infrastructure availability that is relevant to DSCR modelling of storage costs.
