About this scheme
Under Clause 7.12 of the Arunachal Pradesh Industrial Development and Investment Policy, 2025, a unit may recover half of what it spends on air freight for dispatching finished goods from Arunachal Pradesh to any destination in India. The reimbursement is capped at Rs 5 lakh per unit per year and may be claimed for up to five years.
Both new units and existing units are covered, whether or not they have undertaken substantial expansion.
Because the ceiling is renewed each year, a unit that ships goods on a regular basis can draw support across as many as five distinct years.
