Chhattisgarh Export Transport Subsidy — 50% Freight up to ₹50L

Chhattisgarh's Industrial Development Policy 2024-30 carries a freight reimbursement line for exporters, administered by the state's Department of Industries. The scheme exists because moving goods out of a landlocked manufacturing base is expensive, and those logistics costs sit heavily on the books of any unit selling into international markets.

An eligible export unit gets back 50% of the actual transportation charges it pays to carry cargo from its manufacturing site in Chhattisgarh to the port it ships from. Government duties and taxes are left out of the claimable amount. Support is capped at ₹50 lakh a year and can be drawn for a maximum of five years, which makes it a steady, multi-year offset rather than a single payout.

Mining-related products are kept outside the scheme on purpose. The support is directed at value-added manufacturing and other non-mineral activity, with the aim of broadening what the state exports and strengthening the wider export ecosystem. Applications are accepted round the year, so there is no application window to wait for.

• 50% of export transport costs reimbursed
• Capped at ₹50 lakh per year
• Payable for up to 5 years
• For export units in Chhattisgarh

Eligibility is built around the unit and the consignment it is shipping, not around a company stage or a sector list.

• What is excluded: mining-related products do not qualify.
