The total subsidy amount provided so far under the Pradhan Mantri Formalisation of Micro Food Processing Enterprises (PMFME) scheme is around Rs 6,000 crore, he added. Paswan said the PMFME Scheme, which was launched in 2020, has been extended till September this year, and the ministry is considering launching PMFME 2.0 with suitable changes to attract more investments in this sector.
