Healthcare projects can receive capital investment assistance of up to Rs 10 crore in general cases, and hospitals with at least 1,000 beds could qualify for up to Rs 100 crore, according to the reports.

Women-led enterprises get higher incentive ceilings, and employers hiring women will receive enhanced recruitment incentives, according to the reports.

The policy seeks to position Delhi as a hub for clean, technology-driven and knowledge-based industries, according to the reports.

The reports reviewed carried no reaction from industry bodies or opposition parties.

A capability centre is an offshore or in-house unit through which a global company runs functions such as technology, analytics or finance.
