About this scheme
Under the Chhattisgarh Industrial Development Policy 2024-30, the Interest Subsidy programme extends financial relief on term loans to Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises operating in the state. Both general and thrust sector industries are covered by this support.
By lowering the interest burden on borrowing, the scheme is intended to make capital expenditure more feasible for MSMEs. Firms can then expand their operations and take up modern technologies without financing costs acting as a barrier.
The stated aim is to build a stronger industrial ecosystem in Chhattisgarh and generate employment opportunities across the state.

In general, an applicant MSME submits a fully filled application form together with evidence of term loan disbursement issued by a financial institution approved by the RBI, documents establishing registration of the enterprise (such as MSME Udyam registration), and the applicable financial statements. The application is ordinarily filed with the state industrial development department or with a nominated nodal agency. Complete and accurate paperwork is necessary so that evaluation can proceed without delay.
How applications are assessed
Under the Interest Subsidy scheme, the Government of Chhattisgarh's designated authorities carry out a detailed appraisal of every application. They confirm that the applicant qualifies as a Micro, Small or Medium Enterprise and that it meets the conditions laid down in the Chhattisgarh Industrial Development Policy 2024-30. The appraisal covers the enterprise's classification (general or thrust sector), the particulars of the term loan sanctioned by an RBI-approved financial institution, and whether the financial records submitted are internally consistent.
The subsidy percentage and the yearly maximum limit are thereafter worked out exactly, in line with the enterprise's category as specified in the policy, so that benefits are allocated fairly and transparently.
