Thrust Booster Rajasthan 2024 — Extra 10% Subsidy for Service Enterprises

The Thrust Booster is a cash subsidy built into the Rajasthan Investment Promotion Scheme (RIPS) 2024. It is administered by the Department of Industries and Commerce, Government of Rajasthan, and it exists to pull more investment into the service industries the state has marked out as priorities.

In practical terms, a service enterprise that qualifies for the Asset Creation Incentive under RIPS 2024 receives an extra 10% on that amount. The booster is therefore an add-on rather than a standalone payout, and its rupee value shifts from case to case because it is calculated on the base incentive.

Which service businesses count as priority is not decided case by case. The state lists them as Thrust Sectors in Annexure 9.5 of the RIPS 2024 policy document, and the booster is reserved for enterprises operating inside that list.

Because it is structured as a subsidy, the money is neither repayable nor exchanged for ownership. There is no equity dilution for the promoter and no repayment schedule attached, which makes it a comparatively low-risk way for a service business in Rajasthan to part-fund new assets, expansion or a technology upgrade.

Applications move through the RIPS 2024 window, and the deadline is rolling — the scheme stays open rather than closing on a fixed date. Disbursal, however, follows verification of the asset creation claimed, so the timing of the underlying investment matters as much as the timing of the paperwork.

• Extra 10% on top of the Asset Creation Incentive, paid as a cash subsidy
• Reserved for eligible Service Enterprises in Rajasthan's notified Thrust Sectors (Annexure 9.5, RIPS 2024)
• Non-repayable and non-dilutive — no equity, no repayment
• Administered by the Department of Industries and Commerce, Government of Rajasthan
• Rolling deadline — the scheme stays open with no fixed cut-off date
• Claimed through the RIPS 2024 application, with the booster applied after asset creation is verified

Eligibility for the Thrust Booster rests on two things: what kind of business you run, and which sector you run it in.

• Business type: the applicant must be a Service Enterprise.
• Sector: the enterprise must operate in one of the Thrust Sectors notified by the Government of Rajasthan. That list appears in Annexure 9.5 of the Rajasthan Investment Promotion Scheme 2024.
• Link to the base incentive: the booster is an add-on, so the enterprise must first be in a position to claim the Asset Creation Incentive under RIPS 2024.

Since the booster rides on the parent scheme, applicants should also expect to meet whatever general RIPS 2024 conditions attach to the Asset Creation Incentive. The scheme material does not describe a separate, standalone eligibility route for the booster — it is claimed as part of the wider RIPS 2024 application.

Thrust Booster Rajasthan 2024 — Extra 10% Subsidy for Service Enterprises is open to startups at any stage. It is open to startups registered anywhere in India.

Thrust Booster Rajasthan 2024 — Extra 10% Subsidy for Service Enterprises 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.

The payout is simple to state: an additional 10% over the Asset Creation Incentive the enterprise has already qualified for under RIPS 2024. Because it is calculated on that base, the rupee figure varies from applicant to applicant and is not a fixed sum.

• Cash assistance, delivered as a subsidy.
• Non-repayable — there is no principal or interest to return.
• Non-dilutive — the state takes no equity or ownership stake in the business.
• Support is aimed at capital investment: new productive assets, expansion, technological upgrade and the operational efficiency that follows.

By reducing the effective cost of investing, the booster is meant to make asset creation more attractive for service businesses in the state's focus sectors, and to support the employment and economic activity that comes with that investment.

It should be read as a top-up on the existing Asset Creation Incentive rather than a replacement for it.

Thrust Booster Rajasthan 2024 — Extra 10% Subsidy for Service Enterprises is offered by Department of Industries and Commerce, Government of Rajasthan, a government body. As a government-backed subsidy, it is publicly funded and open to eligible startups across India.

There is no competitive shortlisting or pitch round here. The Thrust Booster is an entitlement under a state policy, so what follows is verification rather than selection.

• The application is filed as part of the RIPS 2024 incentive process with the designated state authority — in practice the Department of Industries, with the Finance Department involved at the policy level.
• Officials review the submission for compliance with RIPS 2024, including whether the applicant is genuinely a service enterprise in operation.
• The enterprise's alignment with the Thrust Sectors listed in Annexure 9.5 is checked.
• The asset creation claimed is verified, and the base Asset Creation Incentive is calculated on that basis.
• The 10% booster is then applied to the calculated base incentive.
• Only applicants who clear these checks and satisfy all scheme conditions receive the benefit.

Applicants should work from the official RIPS 2024 guidelines, which set out the specific forms and the detailed procedure to be followed.
