The Gujarat Industrial Policy identifies thrust sectors and core sectors, that the state considers a priority in terms of investment and manufacturing. Investors in sectors shall receive focus and special incentives should they choose to manufacture products that fall under them: 

Secondly, talukas (or potential areas of investment) have been categorized into three categories. Capital subsidies to large investments will be awarded on the basis of which area the company chooses to invest in. The three categories are as follows: 

Category 1: Backward Districts
Should the company choose to manufacture in districts/talukas that have been identified as industrially backward, the investor shall receive a subsidy of 12% for thrust sectors and 10% in general sectors on eligible Fixed Capital Investment, excluding land. 

Category 2: Developing Districts 
Should the company choose to manufacture in districts/talukas that have been identified as industrially backward, the investor shall receive a subsidy of 10% for thrust sectors and 8% for general sectors on eligible Fixed Capital Investment, excluding land. 

Category 3: Mature Districts 
Should the company choose to manufacture in districts/talukas that have been identified as industrially backward, the investor shall receive a subsidy of 10% for thrust sectors and 8% on general sectors for on eligible Fixed Capital Investment, excluding land.
