Figures you may see elsewhere

Working capital support is 50% of the interest on the English Mission 1000 page and on the Malayalam expansion scheme page, but up to 8% interest subvention on the Malayalam Mission 1000 page. All cap it at ₹50 lakh

Worth knowing

88 units were approved on 21 December 2023, and the January 2026 budget said 434 entrepreneurs had been selected, 105 project reports approved and ₹35 crore set aside. But the Malayalam page for the expansion support scheme, last modified 22 September 2026, still says districts have not started taking applications. Whether money is being paid out is not clear.
