Testing Equipment Assistance Scheme, Haryana — 50% Subsidy Up to ₹5L

The Testing Equipment Assistance Scheme is a Haryana Government subsidy administered by the Department of Industries and Commerce. Its purpose is to help the state's Micro and Small Enterprises put proper testing capability in place without having to fund costly lab-grade machinery entirely out of their own pocket.

Quality control is usually the first thing a small manufacturer postpones. Checking incoming raw material and outgoing finished goods calls for equipment that is hard to justify from tight working capital, and that is precisely the gap this scheme closes. It reimburses 50% of the cost of new testing equipment, up to ₹5 lakh in a year, as cash back to the unit.

The broader aim is to lift product quality across Haryana's small manufacturing base so local units hold their own in domestic and export markets, moving them towards a 'Zero Defect' standard. Purchases made between 1 January 2021 and 31 December 2025 are the ones covered.

• 50% subsidy on new testing equipment, capped at ₹5 lakh per year
• Open to Micro and Small Enterprises operating in Haryana
• Covers purchases made from 1 January 2021 to 31 December 2025
• Applied for online through the Antyodaya-SARAL Portal
• Secondhand equipment does not qualify
• Subsidised equipment must be retained for 5 years

Eligibility here rests on registration and compliance rather than turnover or sector.

• A valid Udyam Registration Certificate (URC) is mandatory, and the unit must also have filed its Haryana Udhyam Memorandum (HUM).
• The unit must not appear on a restrictive list that the State Government has notified.
• Any No Objection Certificate (NOC) or Change of Land Use (CLU) permission that applies to the unit has to be obtained from the competent authority.
• The enterprise should be in commercial production, and must still be in regular production at the point when the subsidy is disbursed.
• Only new testing equipment qualifies; secondhand machines are outside the scheme.
• Equipment bought with the subsidy cannot be disposed of for at least five years from the purchase date without prior approval from the Competent Authority.
• The purchase must fall on or after 1 January 2021 and before 31 December 2025.

The most recent application window for Testing Equipment Assistance Scheme, Haryana — 50% Subsidy Up to ₹5L closed on 31 Dec 2025. Many programmes run repeat cohorts, so it is worth checking the official site for the next round.

The support comes as a cash reimbursement, not as a loan and not in exchange for a stake in the business.

• 50% of the cost of new testing equipment is subsidised.
• A single unit can receive up to ₹5 lakh per year under this head.
• The amount is released once the claim and the underlying documents are verified.

Because the money is tied to testing infrastructure, a unit can build facilities for examining both raw materials and finished products. That supports a 'Zero Defect' production standard and strengthens the unit's standing with buyers and inspectors alike.

The scheme also works in the background as regulatory support, since NOCs, CLU permissions and clean paperwork are checked as part of the process and are worth keeping current.
