AYUSH Capital Subsidy, Himachal Pradesh — Up to ₹1 Crore — Frequently Asked Questions

An eligible enterprise receives a capital subsidy equal to 25% of its fixed capital investment, capped at ₹1 crore. The amount is therefore tied to how much the unit actually puts into fixed assets, not to a flat grant figure.

Neither. It is a subsidy, which means the money does not have to be repaid and the state does not take any stake in your business. Your ownership remains untouched.

The scheme is open to bona fide AYUSH enterprises that are registered and operating within Himachal Pradesh. Businesses running outside the state do not qualify, and the applicant's activity must fall within the AYUSH definition used by the AYUSH Policy 2019.

An AYUSH enterprise is one engaged in manufacturing, processing or service provision connected to Ayurveda, Yoga & Naturopathy, Unani, Siddha or Homoeopathy, as recognised by the Himachal Pradesh AYUSH Policy 2019.

It applies to fixed capital investment — typically spending on land, building construction, and plant and machinery needed to establish or expand the AYUSH unit. Routine operating costs are not part of the calculation.

Yes. Since the subsidy meets 25% of the fixed capital investment, the enterprise must fund the remaining 75% through its own resources or other financing. The scheme functions as a co-financing arrangement.

The policy does not state an explicit minimum investment threshold. Because the support is a percentage of fixed capital spend, though, a project would need a sizeable capital outlay for the subsidy to be meaningful in absolute terms.

No fixed closing date is attached to this scheme. Applications are accepted on a rolling basis, so you can submit once your investment plan and documentation are ready.

The eligibility conditions described for this scheme do not list DPIIT recognition or MSME registration as a requirement. What the policy hinges on is that the applicant is a bona fide AYUSH enterprise registered and operating in Himachal Pradesh. If you are unsure how your registration status is treated, confirm with the Department of Industries before filing.

The application is expected to include a completed application form, a comprehensive project report, details of the proposed fixed capital investment, incorporation documents, and any other supporting paperwork the AYUSH Policy 2019 specifies.

Disbursement usually works on a reimbursement basis. Once you show proof of the fixed capital investment and implementation in line with the sanctioned plan, the amount is released — either in tranches or as a lump sum, depending on project milestones and policy guidelines.

Applications go to the designated authority within the Himachal Pradesh Government as set out in the AYUSH Policy 2019. Online services for the state platform are available at https://emerginghimachal.hp.gov.in/online-services.
