About this scheme
The Central Comprehensive Insurance Incentive sits within the Industrial Development Scheme (IDS) run by the Government of Himachal Pradesh. Its purpose is to support industrial growth and investment in the state by reducing a substantial operational expense for enterprises.
Under the scheme, 100% of insurance premiums are covered for key assets, including buildings and Plant & Machinery. This allows businesses to keep sound risk management practices in place without carrying the entire financial load.
The support is intended to create a more secure operating environment, draw in new industries and help existing businesses grow, which in turn contributes to the state's economic development and job creation. It also reflects the government's aim of building a business-friendly ecosystem in which enterprises can expand with less financial exposure to unforeseen events.
