Overview
Run by the Department of Industries, Government of Chhattisgarh, this incentive appears as Incentive 72 of the Chhattisgarh Industrial Development Policy 2024-30. It is aimed at large industrial players that commit serious capital in the state and want support either on their tax outgo or on the cost of building assets.
Applicants pick one of two routes. The first reimburses Net SGST for 12 years, counted from the day commercial production begins, and is capped at 100% of the enterprise's Fixed Capital Investment. The second pays a Fixed Capital Investment (FCI) grant worth 35% of FCI, subject to ceilings that scale with the size of the project and top out at ₹300 crore.
The scheme is sector-specific. Textiles, Electronics & Electrical, and Information Technology are the industries it targets, matching the state's effort to widen its manufacturing and technology base. Whether through relief on tax or through sharing the capital cost, the aim is to draw large projects into Chhattisgarh and sustain them through the production cycle.
There is no closing date — applications are accepted on a rolling basis. Approval, though, depends on satisfying the policy conditions and on money being available under the state's industrial incentive budget.
