Overview
The Madhya Pradesh Startup Policy 2022 includes a Lease Rental Assistance program managed by the Department of MSME, Government of Madhya Pradesh. This initiative helps DPIIT-recognized startups based in the state reduce their monthly workspace costs. By covering a portion of the rent, the program aims to free up funds for innovation, product development, market expansion, and hiring, supporting long-term growth.
Eligible startups receive 50% reimbursement of their monthly lease rental, capped at ₹5,000 per month, for a maximum of three years. Funds are disbursed quarterly after verifying valid rent receipts submitted through the official MP Startup portal. The workspace must be located within Madhya Pradesh—whether in an incubator, IT park, or industrial area—and the lease must be in the startup's name.
