Chhattisgarh Export Transport Subsidy — 75% Freight Reimbursement for 10 Years — Frequently Asked Questions

There is no flat grant amount — the value depends on your freight bills. An eligible unit is reimbursed 75% of the transportation charges it actually incurs for moving goods from its manufacturing facility to the port of export, with government duties and taxes left out. Over the life of the scheme the total reimbursement cannot exceed 35% of your Fixed Capital Investment.

The scheme is for export units based in Chhattisgarh. On top of that, the unit has to operate in one of the notified sectors: textiles, agro and food processing, dairy product processing, processing based on non-timber forest products, compressed biogas (CBG), or green hydrogen plants.

Six areas are supported: textiles, agro and food processing, dairy product processing, non-timber forest products based processing, the compressed biogas (CBG) sector, and green hydrogen plants. Units outside these sectors do not qualify.

Yes. Total reimbursement across the entire benefit period is capped at 35% of the unit's Fixed Capital Investment. The 75% rate applies per claim, but the cumulative payout cannot cross that FCI-linked ceiling.

The transport subsidy is available for 10 years from the date of eligibility as per the policy guidelines, which makes it a long-term cushion against logistics costs rather than a one-time payment.

No. The reimbursement is calculated on actual transportation charges only — government duties and taxes are excluded from the amount that is considered for the 75% reimbursement.

It is a subsidy, which is a form of non-dilutive cash support. The government takes no equity in your company and no shares change hands in return for the money.

The details available do not list DPIIT recognition or MSME (Udyam) registration as a condition for this subsidy. Eligibility is defined by your status as an export unit in Chhattisgarh and by the sector you operate in. Applicants are, however, expected to be registered under the state's industrial policy framework, since the benefit flows from the Chhattisgarh Industrial Development Policy 2024-30.

No fixed deadline is set — applications are treated as rolling / always open. You can apply once your unit meets the eligibility conditions, and then keep filing reimbursement claims through the benefit period.

You will need proof of your export unit status, details of the transportation charges incurred, evidence of payment against those charges, and information on your Fixed Capital Investment as required by the policy guidelines. Supporting invoices for each consignment are part of the verification.
