Overview
Buying technology from a government research body is expensive, and the Chhattisgarh Technology Purchase Subsidy exists to absorb a large share of that bill. The Department of Industries, Government of Chhattisgarh, offers a 50% reimbursement capped at ₹10 Lakh on technology acquired from the National Research Development Corporation (NRDC) or another Government research Centre.
The incentive sits inside the Chhattisgarh Industrial Development Policy 2024-30, with Section 11 carrying the detailed terms. Its purpose is practical: help enterprises in the state modernise without carrying the full acquisition cost on their own books, so that operations, output and overall competitiveness improve across Chhattisgarh's industrial base.
For MSMEs and smaller units, the price tag on advanced technology is often the biggest single barrier to upgrading. This reimbursement lowers that barrier with cash rather than capital — it is equity-free, meaning no stake in the business is handed over in return. Applications run rolling, with no fixed deadline, and are filed with the Department of Industries or the designated nodal agency for industrial incentives in the state.
Highlights
- Up to ₹10 Lakh reimbursed on eligible technology purchases
- 50% of the amount spent comes back as cash
- Technology must be bought from NRDC or another Government research Centre
- Rolling applications — no fixed deadline
- Equity-free support, with no stake taken in your business

Who can apply
The subsidy revolves around a single qualifying event: your enterprise must have purchased technology from the NRDC or another Government research Centre. Without that purchase — and the paperwork that proves it — there is nothing to reimburse.
Applicants are expected to be enterprises operating in Chhattisgarh. The scheme's scope is broad enough to cover industrial entities of different sizes, from micro-enterprises up to larger units, as long as they meet the conditions attached to the technology purchase.
Administration sits with the Department of Industries, Chhattisgarh, or a designated nodal agency for industrial incentives. Because eligibility depends on the specifics of the transaction, it is worth reading Section 11 of the Chhattisgarh Industrial Development Policy 2024-30 before you commit to a purchase, so that the supplier, the documentation and the payment trail all fit within the scheme's terms.
Chhattisgarh Technology Purchase Subsidy — 50% Reimbursement Up to ₹10L is open to startups at any stage. It is open to startups registered anywhere in India.
