About this scheme
Under the Chhattisgarh Industrial Development Policy 2024-30, micro and small enterprises (MSEs) operating in the state can claim a 50% exemption on land diversion fees. The incentive is intended to lower the cost of converting land for industrial use.
By cutting this upfront expense, the Government of Chhattisgarh seeks to draw fresh investment, help existing MSEs expand capacity, and support economic growth, especially in manufacturing and related industrial activity.
The measure forms part of the state's wider effort to ease doing business and back local entrepreneurship.

Frequently asked questions
What is the benefit provided by this policy?
Enterprises that qualify pay only half the land diversion fee when land is diverted for industrial use, which lowers the expense of obtaining and readying industrial land in Chhattisgarh for micro and small enterprises setting up or growing their operations.
Which enterprises are eligible for this exemption?
Only Micro and Small Enterprises (MSEs) can claim this exemption, and they must satisfy the official MSME classification criteria to be eligible.
What is the maximum land area covered by this exemption?
Land holdings of up to 15 acres qualify for the exemption, a cap intended to direct the benefit towards genuine industrial units and to curb its use for very large land parcels.
What is the purpose for which the land diversion fee is exempted?
Land diverted for industrial use qualifies for the exemption, covering the establishment of factories, manufacturing units, or other industrial establishments as defined under the state's industrial policy.
Is this a grant or a loan?
It is a subsidy granted as an exemption — a direct reduction or waiver of a fee that would otherwise be payable — rather than a grant or a conventional loan, and the benefit is not repayable.
How can I claim this exemption?
Under the Chhattisgarh Industrial Development Policy 2024-30, micro and small enterprises must apply to the designated state industrial department, submitting proof of MSME status, land details and industrial purpose, and await approval in line with the policy guidelines.
