Green Incentives Maharashtra — 25% Green Tech Subsidy Up to ₹10 Cr — Frequently Asked Questions

An approved project receives 25% of its green technology cost back, with a maximum of ₹10 crore. Whichever of those two figures is lower is the amount that applies — so a project claiming a very high technology cost still stops at the ₹10 crore ceiling.

Only projects classified as Mega or Ultra Mega projects qualify, and they must have adopted green technology within their manufacturing process. Smaller units and projects without an identifiable green technology component fall outside this scheme.

No. This incentive runs under an ongoing policy and is listed as rolling, which means applications are normally accepted at any time, subject to the policy guidelines. There is no fixed cut-off date to work towards.

The policy speaks broadly of green technology in the manufacturing process, without listing specific technologies or equipment. In practice this covers technologies that lower environmental impact, improve how efficiently resources are used, or otherwise make industrial operations more sustainable. During assessment, the committee examines the technology costs being claimed, so the green component needs to be clearly identifiable in your project.

No. This is a subsidy delivered as a reimbursement against technology cost, so there is no equity stake, no shareholding dilution and no repayment obligation of the kind attached to a loan.

The published criteria for this incentive do not state a DPIIT or MSME requirement. What matters is that the project is classified as a Mega or Ultra Mega project and that green technology has been adopted in its manufacturing process.

Yes. The incentive belongs to Maharashtra's industrial policy framework and is administered by the Directorate of Industries, Government of Maharashtra, so it applies to projects within the state.

You will typically need a project proposal, a breakdown of the technology costs, and evidence that green technology has actually been adopted. The policy document for the Maharashtra Industries Investment and Services Policy 2025 contains the detailed guidelines and the application forms, so it is worth reading before you start assembling your file.

Applications go to the designated department or facilitation cell, which in practice is usually MAITRI or the Department of Industries, Government of Maharashtra. Online submissions can be made through the MAITRI portal at https://maitri.maharashtra.gov.in/login. After submitting, you wait to hear back regarding assessment and approval.

A committee or department designated by the Government of Maharashtra scrutinises the application. It reviews the project proposal, verifies the adoption of green technology, assesses the technology costs, and confirms the Mega or Ultra Mega classification. Site visits or expert consultations may also be carried out to check compliance with the policy's objectives before final approval and reimbursement.
