About this scheme

The Freight Reimbursement Incentive forms part of the Bihar Textile & Leather Policy, 2022, and exists to support exports from the state's textile and leather industries. Its purpose is to lower the logistical cost burden borne by eligible manufacturing units, which in turn improves their ability to compete in international markets. Through financial support towards freight charges, the policy seeks to encourage local businesses to expand their export operations and add to Bihar's economic development.

The scheme applies to "Category A & B units" as defined under the wider policy, so that benefits flow to businesses actively operating in the textile and leather sectors. Reimbursement covers a substantial share of the freight costs incurred in moving goods from the project location within Bihar to the port for export, which makes international trade more workable for local manufacturers. Support is structured across a five-year period, giving businesses sustained financial backing as they set up and steady their export channels.
