HIT-30 is structured as a project-based investment-incentive regime under the Ministry of Industry and Technology, layered on top of (and partially replacing) the legacy Project-Based Investment Incentive Scheme established by 2016 Decree No. 2016/9495. Selection is centralised through the Industrialization Executive Committee chaired by the President. The seven-heading incentive toolkit comprises:
1. Tax incentives — corporate-tax reduction, customs-duty exemption, VAT exemption. 2. Employment supports — social-security-contribution coverage (employer + employee shares) and qualified-personnel salary support. 3. Financing supports — interest / profit-sharing assistance on bank credit. 4. Energy supports — coverage of up to 50% of energy bills for energy-intensive projects. 5. Land allocation — free or discounted parcels in organised industrial zones (OSBs) and special industry areas. 6. Grant assistance — direct cash grants on cell-manufacturing (15 GW solar capacity target), battery cells (80 GWh capacity target with USD 6k/MWh grant through 2030), wind components, and R&D centre operations. 7. Market-development supports — public-procurement guarantees and offtake commitments (a structurally new tool not present in the 2016 regime).
Once stated capacity targets are reached in a given investment area (e.g. 80 GWh batteries, 15 GW solar cells), applications close for that sector — capping the envelope per programme rather than running open-ended.
The thirty-seven priority programmes are clustered under the umbrella of the Türkiye 2030 Industry and Technology Strategy and are operationalised via Resmi Gazete-published incentive schemes that detail eligibility per cluster.
largest single battery-finance envelope outside the EU/US/China cluster. Combined with the June 2024 Decree 8639 additional duty on Chinese vehicles (and its 2024-12 escalation; see 2024-06-08-turkey-decree-8639-chinese-vehicle-tariff) and the Chinese-OEM Investment Incentive Certificate exemption (BYD Manisa USD 1bn / 150k-units/year plant), HIT-30 forms the demand-pull side of a coherent localisation regime — tariff wall + state-funded local battery / cell capacity + qualifying-OEM transfer-pricing into the local cluster.
Net-Zero Industry Act 40% domestic-manufacturing target by 2030 and the US IRA 45X tax credits for cell / module / wind production — Türkiye positioning as a near-EU manufacturing base inside the customs-union perimeter.
centres for 5 years is a direct attempt to capture corporate-R&D footprint that would otherwise flow to Ireland, Israel, Singapore, or Eastern-EU hubs.
+ USD 20bn private-co-investment target = ~USD 8.3bn/year total directed capex. Against TR 2024 nominal GDP of ~USD 1.1trn this is ~0.75% of GDP/year of directed industrial finance — comparable in scale (relative to GDP) to France 2030 (EUR 54bn / ~1.7% of GDP over 5y) and larger than the Germany microelectronics strategy (EUR 20bn / ~0.4% of GDP over 5y). Severity capped at 4 (not 5) because the envelope is multi-sector and back-loaded; sector-specific cells (batteries, solar, R&D) each independently rate severity 3-4.
and Resmi Gazete date for the founding act of HIT-30 (the Ministry portal references the programme but does not surface the founding decree number on the public-facing page); individual sector-cluster Cumhurbaşkanı Kararları have been published serially through 2024-2026 in Resmi Gazete and may warrant amendments to this entry as they appear.
(Ministry has not published a public award register comparable to the US CHIPS Act notices of funding opportunity).
defensive-tariff side of the localisation strategy; the joint pass-through to TR consumer prices and to TR imports of Chinese / EU intermediate goods is a watch item.
