MP Tourism Capital Investment Subsidy — 15% Up to ₹3 Cr — Frequently Asked Questions

The scheme covers 15% of the fixed capital investment you make in an approved tourism project. The payout is capped at ₹3,00,00,000 (₹3 crore), and because a minimum project outlay of ₹5,00,000 is required, the smallest claim under the scheme is ₹75,000.

There is no fixed cut-off date — the scheme accepts applications on a rolling basis. However, your project has to be established and operational during the operative period of Tourism Policy 2025, and the subsidy application itself must be filed within one year from the date commercial operations begin.

Adventure tourism, water tourism, water sports, cruise and houseboat operations, navigation infrastructure, amusement parks, water parks, sound and light shows, laser shows, and camping including tented facilities are all covered. The spend can go towards permanent facilities as well as the equipment needed to run them.

Any private investor or entity establishing an eligible tourism project in Madhya Pradesh can apply. The listed entity types include public limited companies, private limited companies, LLPs, proprietorship firms, partnership firms, cooperatives, trusts, FPOs and individuals. The project must involve capital expenditure of at least ₹5,00,000.

No. The subsidy is claimed after the fact. Construction work has to be completed, the minimum capital expenditure met and commercial operations commenced before you submit the subsidy application on the Invest Portal, and the submission must happen within one year of that start date.

No. This is a capital investment subsidy — a cash benefit from the Tourism Department, Government of Madhya Pradesh, that offsets part of your setup cost. It is not an equity investment, so no ownership or shares change hands.

The scheme details do not list DPIIT or MSME registration as a condition. What matters is that the project falls in a supported tourism category, meets the ₹5,00,000 minimum capital expenditure, is established and operational during the Tourism Policy 2025 period, and that the claim is filed within one year of commencement of operations.

Register on the Madhya Pradesh Government's Invest Portal as a Vendor/Investor with your organisation type, firm name, authorised person's details, email ID and mobile number. Once you have your user ID and password, log in, complete your profile and obtain all mandatory permissions through the online single-window system. After your project is operational, file the subsidy application online through the same portal, attaching the required supporting documents in the specified formats.

Supporting documents must be uploaded with the online subsidy application in the formats the portal specifies. These papers, along with your application, are reviewed to confirm compliance with the eligibility conditions and to establish that the minimum capital expenditure requirement has been fulfilled.

The Tourism Department and the Madhya Pradesh Tourism Board verify the application and all submitted documents. That process includes a review for eligibility compliance, a check on the minimum capital expenditure, and possibly a site visit to confirm the project is established and operating. The project's fit within the operative period of Tourism Policy 2025 is also assessed before the subsidy claim is finally approved and processed.

The governing framework is the Tourism Policy 2025 published by the Madhya Pradesh Tourism Department, available at https://tourism.mp.gov.in/Uploaded%20Document/PoliciesandNotifications/Tourism%20Policy%202025.pdf.
