Overview

The Mandi Fee Reimbursement for Logistics Infrastructure is one of the incentives offered under the Rajasthan Investment Promotion Scheme 2024, and it is administered by the Department of Industries and Commerce, Government of Rajasthan. The logic behind it is simple: logistics businesses in the state pay a mandi (market) fee, and this scheme returns that fee to them.

Refunds of this kind matter because market levies keep recurring, while logistics operators typically work on thin margins. When the entire fee comes back, a permanent cost line becomes a recoverable one, and working capital is freed for the things that actually grow a business — additional capacity, better equipment, upgraded systems.

The scheme forms part of the state's wider effort to draw investment into warehousing, cold chain and freight-related infrastructure, and to keep Rajasthan an attractive place to store and move goods. It is a reimbursement rather than a grant or an equity deal: you pay the fee first, then claim it back.

Applications run on a rolling basis, with no fixed closing date while the parent scheme remains active.

Who can apply

  • Inland container depots (ICDs)

Deadline & timing

Rajasthan Mandi Fee Reimbursement — 100% Subsidy for Logistics Infrastructure accepts applications on a rolling basis — there is no fixed cut-off date, so eligible startups can apply at any time. Because rolling programmes can pause without notice, confirm the window is still open on the official site before you start.

What the funding covers

The headline benefit is a full refund of the mandi fee or market fee — 100% — continuing for 7 years.

Because this works as a reimbursement, the value you actually receive depends on the fees your business pays. There is no fixed rupee payout published for the scheme; the amount varies from one applicant to another according to their own fee outgo. What is fixed is the proportion: the whole of the eligible fee is returned, across a seven-year window.

In practice that means:

  • Market levies stop being an unrecoverable expense and become recoverable instead.
  • Cash that would otherwise go to fees can be redirected into capacity, equipment or technology.
  • Across a 7-year horizon, the cumulative saving can be significant for a fee-heavy operation.

The benefit is delivered as cash. Since this is a state subsidy and not an investment, no equity or ownership share is taken in your business.
