Applications follow the procedure laid down in the Chhattisgarh Industrial Development Policy 2024-30 and are submitted through the state's single-window portal at https://swsportal.cgstate.gov.in/login/, or to the state's industrial development department or designated nodal agency. The application is filed with your enterprise details, term loan particulars and financial records.

Both General Sector Industries and Thrust Sector Industries are eligible. Units in thrust sectors may qualify for stronger benefits, since the policy uses the scheme to encourage growth in priority areas.
