Special Subsidy for Anchor Units (CG) — Extra 5% on ₹200 Cr+ ITeS Investment — Frequently Asked Questions

Eligible anchor units receive an additional 5% subsidy on their Fixed Capital Investment. The maximum that can be claimed under this head is capped at 110% of the unit's total Fixed Capital Investment, so the actual rupee value depends entirely on how large the project is.

It is open to the first five anchor industries in the ITeS and Data Centres sectors that commit to more than ₹200 crore in Fixed Capital Investment and set up operations within Chhattisgarh. Both the sector and the investment size have to match — clearing only one of the two is not enough.

The subsidy is built for large enterprises operating in Information Technology Enabled Services (ITeS) and Data Centres, under the state's Special Package for Large Enterprises in ITeS & Data Centres Sector.

Your Fixed Capital Investment in Chhattisgarh must be more than ₹200 crore. Projects below that figure do not qualify for this particular anchor-unit incentive.

The benefit is limited to the first five anchor units. That cap is what makes the scheme time-sensitive — once five qualifying units are in, the additional subsidy is no longer available.

No specific closing date is attached to this incentive. The window is rolling and always open, and applications are handled as part of the overall application procedure for the Special Package for Large Enterprises in ITeS & Data Centres Sector.

In practice that means submitting a detailed project proposal, your investment plans and the necessary incorporation documents to the designated nodal agency in Chhattisgarh. Applicants should read the full policy document for the exact forms and submission steps, and the state's single-window portal at https://swsportal.cgstate.gov.in/login/ is the entry point for the online process.

The submission generally involves a detailed project proposal, investment plans setting out your Fixed Capital Investment, and the incorporation documents for the entity. The policy document for the Special Package specifies the exact forms and procedures required for large enterprise incentives, so check it before filing.

The incentive is offered by the Department of Industries, Government of Chhattisgarh. Selection is expected to involve a review by a high-level committee of the state government, which checks the proposed Fixed Capital Investment, the sector fit and the project's likely impact on the state's economy and employment.
