How to Apply for Maharashtra Tech R&D Incentives — ₹10 Cr Import Substitution Subsidy

Applications move through the MAITRI portal and are assessed by the state machinery.

• Initial screening — the submission is checked for completeness and basic eligibility under the Maharashtra Industries Investment and Services Policy 2025.
• Detailed assessment — supporting invoices, cost records and intellectual property registration documents are examined, together with the technical merit of the R&D and technology transfer work and the financial claims made.
• Committee review — a committee from the relevant state industrial department evaluates the technical and financial case, including how genuinely the activity contributes to import substitution.
• Approval and disbursement — once approved, the reimbursement is released.

The entire exercise rests on evidence: claims must line up with the policy guidelines and be backed by proper documentation.
