About this scheme
The Transport Subsidy for Export Units forms part of the Chhattisgarh Industrial Development Policy 2024-30. It provides financial assistance to businesses in the state that trade internationally, covering a portion of the logistics costs they incur when exporting.
Under the scheme, eligible export units are reimbursed 50% of the actual transportation expenses they incur moving goods from their manufacturing facilities within Chhattisgarh to designated ports of export.
The scheme is intended to build a stronger export ecosystem, encourage diversification of industrial output and generate economic opportunities across the region. Mining-related products are excluded from its scope, so support is directed towards value-added manufacturing and other non-mineral sectors.
By lowering operational overheads, the subsidy helps Chhattisgarh-based enterprises compete more effectively on a global scale and supports sustained industrial growth.
