Chhattisgarh Technology Purchase Subsidy — 50% Back, Up to ₹10L — Frequently Asked Questions

The ceiling is ₹10 lakh per enterprise. That is the highest reimbursement payable, assuming all eligibility conditions are satisfied and the underlying purchase is verified.

It covers 50% of what was spent on eligible technology. So if your verified purchase cost comes to ₹12 lakh, the reimbursement would be half of that, which in this case would be limited by the ₹10 lakh cap.

Enterprises that are operating in Chhattisgarh and have purchased technology from the National Research Development Corporation (NRDC) or another recognised government research centre. Both conditions need to be met — being located in the state is not enough on its own, and buying technology from an unrecognised seller does not qualify either.

No. This is a state-specific incentive created under the Chhattisgarh Industrial Development Policy and is meant exclusively for enterprises operating within Chhattisgarh.

The technology has to be bought from NRDC or from other recognised government research centres. Purchases made from vendors outside that network fall outside the scope of the scheme.

The policy material does not list MSME or DPIIT registration as a mandatory requirement for this particular incentive. Applicants are advised to check the full policy document for how an enterprise is defined under the scheme.

Yes. This is structured as a reimbursement. The enterprise buys the technology and pays for it first, then applies to recover 50% of the cost, up to the ₹10 lakh limit.

No. The scheme runs on a rolling, always-open basis, so applications can be filed as and when the technology purchase has been completed and the documents are ready.

The completed application, along with supporting documents, goes to the designated authority in line with the policy guidelines — this is usually done through the state's online portal or by physical submission at a government office. The application portal is available at https://swsportal.cgstate.gov.in/login/.
