Overview
The Chhattisgarh Industrial Development Policy 2024–30, launched by the Government of Chhattisgarh, is widely regarded as one of India's most competitive new state industrial policies. It offers a comprehensive package of incentives for new MSMEs and large enterprises, as well as eligible expansion, diversification, and modernization projects. The policy aims to boost industrial growth, especially in backward districts, by providing substantial financial relief through investment subsidies, interest subsidies, and exemptions from electricity duty and stamp duty. All incentives are equity-free and non-repayable, making it an attractive option for entrepreneurs and businesses looking to set up or expand operations in Chhattisgarh.
The policy's standout feature is the investment subsidy structured as Net SGST reimbursement of 100%–200% of Fixed Capital Investment for units located in most-backward districts. Interest subsidy covers 40%–70% of interest paid on term loans, with higher rates for SC/ST and women entrepreneurs. Additional benefits include employment-linked incentives for each employee, with extra support for hiring persons with disabilities and retired Agniveers. Provisional registration under the single-window system is automatic, reducing administrative burdens for applicants.
