Andhra Pradesh slashes UDA charges to give a boost to food processing sector

In a move to give a fillip to the food processing industry, the Government of Andhra Pradesh on Tuesday issued a G.O. (Ms. No. 102) rationalising the Urban Development Authority (UDA) charges for setting up the food processing and allied units.

The revised charges, covering building permit fee and development, betterment, and site approval charges, aim to ease the financial burden on businesses, particularly Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs), operating in the rural and peri-urban areas.
