<h1>Capital investment subsidy approval thresholds allocate claims across local, state and central approvers and require valuation, with micro unit exemptions.</h1> Capital investment subsidy under NEIIPP uses a tiered approval regime by claim size: local and state authorities handle smaller claims, central appraisal with empowered-body approval covers intermediate claims, and the largest claims proceed to cabinet approval after appraisal. Approvals must generally consider financial institution assessments of plant and machinery, while self financed micro units are exempt from investment appraisals. Case counts are reported by investment bands and the data does not indicate that scrutiny is hindering industrialisation.
