<h1>MIIUS Approves 26 New Projects, Maharashtra Secures Funds for Ongoing IIUS Projects; No New Proposals from UP, Bihar, Maharashtra.</h1> The Department of Industrial Policy and Promotion under the Ministry of Commerce and Industry announced the Modified Industrial Infrastructure Upgradation Scheme (MIIUS) in July 2013 to enhance infrastructure in existing industrial areas and initiate projects in backward and North Eastern regions. Despite requests, no project proposals from Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, and Maharashtra met MIIUS guidelines over the past two years. However, Maharashtra received funding for two ongoing projects under the Recast Industrial Infrastructure Upgradation Scheme (IIUS)-2009, specifically for the Marathwada Automobile Cluster and Kolhapur Foundry Cluster. Overall, 26 new projects across various states have been approved under MIIUS.
