About
The objective is to develop these two clusters with world-class infrastructure.

SPV is designed in such a way, it will have Standard Models of units of SSI and SME with infrastructure that is customized to give a competitive edge and these centers have greater potential to become globally competitive.

The scheme will also provide for Emporiums, Common Facility Centres, Raw Material Banks, Trade Common Production Centres, Facilitation Centres, and Design & Resource Centres.
Who can apply
- The Implementing Agency (lA), which will be a Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV), shall be a legal entity, preferably a company, with the participation of related stakeholders, particularly the leading manufacturers, suppliers, buyers, and artisan federations/SHGs. The SPV shall be selected preferably through an open competitive bidding process. However, selection of SPV would mainly depend on the project profile, activities required to be intervened, and on various other parameters, therefore selection of such suitable SPV after seeking formal approval of PAMC. As the Handicrafts sector is highly unorganized, the procedure for selection of SPV in special cases shall be kept open for PAMC/Government.
