Chhattisgarh Export Certification Subsidy — Up to ₹1.5 Crore

The Department of Industries, Government of Chhattisgarh runs this subsidy to offset what exporters of electronics and electrical goods spend on overseas product certifications. It is one of the incentives offered under the Chhattisgarh Industrial Development Policy 2024-30.

Clearances such as CE marking, RoHS compliance, UL certification and other market-entry approvals are expensive, and without them a manufacturer cannot sell into many foreign markets. The scheme refunds a share of that spend so units based in the state can bring their products up to international standards and stay competitive abroad.

Support is calibrated to established exporters: a unit must show at least ₹50 crore of yearly turnover for each product it claims on. Applications stay open through the year — the window is rolling, with no last date to beat.

• Reimburses 50% of international certification fees, capped at ₹15 lakh per product
• Maximum benefit of ₹1.5 crore across up to 10 products
• Open to exporters of electronics and electrical goods based in Chhattisgarh
• Requires ₹50 crore-plus yearly turnover for every product claimed
• Rolling applications with no deadline — submitted on the state incentive portal
• Cash reimbursement, non-repayable, with no equity or dilution

Who can apply

• The applicant must be an exporter of electronics and electrical goods.
• Turnover requirement: ₹50 crore or more per year for each product named in the claim. Every product is measured separately, so the benchmark has to be met product by product.
• A commercial export certificate covering the relevant products must be submitted — it is the evidence that the export activity and the product categories are genuine.
• The unit has to be operating in Chhattisgarh.
• Business structures accepted include Private Limited Companies, LLPs, One Person Companies, Partnerships and Proprietorships.

The per-product turnover threshold is deliberately steep, so this is not a scheme for early-stage or small-scale sellers; it is meant for units already exporting in volume. DPIIT recognition and MSME/Udyam registration are not listed among the conditions for this subsidy.

Chhattisgarh Export Certification Subsidy — Up to ₹1.5 Crore is open to startups at any stage. It is open to startups registered anywhere in India.

Chhattisgarh Export Certification Subsidy — Up to ₹1.5 Crore accepts applications on a rolling basis — there is no fixed cut-off date, so eligible startups can apply at any time. Because rolling programmes can pause without notice, confirm the window is still open on the official site before you start.

What the subsidy covers

• 50% of the fees paid for international certifications or approvals, returned as a cash reimbursement. No equity is taken and the money is not repaid.
• ₹15 lakh per product is the ceiling on any single product's claim.
• A unit can claim for up to 10 products, which puts the highest possible benefit at ₹1.5 crore.
• Certifications that typically fall in scope include CE marking, RoHS compliance, UL certification, ISO standards and country-specific product approvals needed to enter a market.

Because the reimbursement follows the expense, the unit carries the certification cost first and then recovers a share of it. The value extends past the cash: holding recognised certifications opens doors with buyers and distributors in markets that would otherwise be closed to an uncertified product.

Chhattisgarh Export Certification Subsidy — Up to ₹1.5 Crore is offered by Department of Industries, Government of Chhattisgarh, a government body. As a government-backed subsidy, it is publicly funded and open to eligible startups across India.

There is no pitch or competition here. Each application is examined administratively, and a committee drawn from Department of Industries officials checks it against the scheme's conditions before any money moves.

• Application submission. The unit applies through the designated online portal for incentives under the Chhattisgarh Industrial Development Policy 2024-30.
• Documentation. Proof of incorporation, details of the certifications obtained, invoices for the fees paid, evidence of payment, the commercial export certificate and audited financial statements showing turnover are uploaded along with the form.
• Initial scrutiny. Department staff first confirm that the application is complete and broadly consistent with the scheme guidelines.
• Verification. Field visits or other checks may follow to validate export activity and the per-product turnover figures.
• Approval and disbursement. Once the competent authority approves, the reimbursement is credited straight to the unit's bank account.

The committee concentrates on three things: whether each product clears the turnover threshold, whether the certifications are valid and relevant, and whether every rupee claimed is backed by invoices and payment proof. The design is kept transparent so that all eligible units get equal access.
