Year End Review 2025 - Achievements & Initiatives of Ministry of Food Processing Industries

• MoFPI is the nodal Union ministry for the food processing sector, currently steered by Minister Chirag Paswan; its YER 2025 (released 9 Jan 2026) consolidates scheme-wise progress of PMKSY, PLISFPI and PMFME.
• Sector status: largest organised manufacturing employer with 12.83% share of total registered-sector employment; GVA doubled from ₹1.34 lakh cr (2014-15) to ₹2.24 lakh cr (2023-24).
• Examiner-friendly because it intersects GS-III (agriculture, food security, value-chain, MSME) with current schemes, FDI data and post-harvest infrastructure.
