      consideration under TePP.

      have possible commercial potential. Mere possession of idea(s), doesn't entitle any one to
      avail TePP support.
   5. The proposals from the owner of a Start-up company/industry may be considered for
      TePP support, if the annual turnover of the company/industry doesn't exceed Rs. 45.00

      sanctioned amount, as their own share to the project proposals. Proof/supporting
      document will be required with the application and along with the willingness towards
      such a contribution. The upper limits in both the cases are indicative only. It does not
