ODOP: 1,244 products identified across 773 districts

The Commerce Ministry told Parliament on 24 July 2026 that 1,244 products have been identified across 773 districts under DPIIT's One District One Product (ODOP) initiative.

Summary

ODOP aims to select, brand and promote at least one product from each district; products are selected by State/UT governments. Under the Scheme for Special Assistance to States for Capital Investment (SASCI), up to ₹200 crore per State (and UTs with legislatures – Delhi, J&K and Puducherry) is given as a 50-year interest-free loan to set up PM Ekta Malls (Unity Malls) for ODOP, GI and local handicraft products. The PMFME scheme of the Food Processing Ministry also follows the ODOP approach.
