About this scheme
The Project Report Subsidy operates as an incentive under the Chhattisgarh Industrial Development Policy 2024-30. Its purpose is to support industrial growth within the state and to draw new enterprises into setting up there.
New businesses and startups often face heavy costs at the outset. This scheme reduces that load by reimbursing part of what they spend on preparing detailed project reports. Such reports set out a venture's feasibility, its financial projections and how it plans to operate — documents that matter when seeking funding and when mapping out execution.
By covering a share of these early costs, the Government of Chhattisgarh aims to create conditions more favourable to investment, innovation and job creation. Over time this is expected to aid the state's economic development and the widening of its industrial base.
The support is intended to let new businesses plan thoroughly at the start without facing disproportionate upfront expenditure.

These generally comprise evidence of enterprise registration, particulars of Fixed Capital Investment (FCI), and the invoices or receipts showing what the project report cost. - **File the Application**: The route for submission is normally the online portal run by the state's industrial department (for instance, the Department of Industries), or alternatively the local District Industry Centres (DICs). - **Verification**: Once filed, the claim is examined by the authorities, who check that it meets the terms and conditions laid down in the policy. - **Disbursement of Reimbursement**: Where verification succeeds and approval follows, the enterprise receives the reimbursement amount it is eligible for.
How applications are assessed
The scheme functions through a claim-based route, not a competitive selection. A 'New enterprise' that has spent on project reports and satisfies every condition set out in the Chhattisgarh Industrial Development Policy 2024-30 may seek reimbursement. Each application is then checked against the policy's terms, the costs claimed are verified, and the enterprise's eligibility is assessed, after which the claim is either approved or rejected.
Frequently asked questions
What is the Project Report Subsidy?
Under the Chhattisgarh Industrial Development Policy 2024-30, new enterprises can claim reimbursement of the costs they incur in preparing project reports, which are needed for business planning and development.
How much subsidy can an enterprise receive?
New enterprises that qualify can claim a reimbursement of 1% of their Fixed Capital Investment (FCI), subject to a ceiling of ₹10 Lakh. The sum payable is worked out on the basis of the FCI and the cost actually incurred, and cannot exceed that maximum.
Who is eligible to claim this subsidy?
Only 'New enterprises' qualify for this subsidy, which generally covers recently incorporated businesses setting up or significantly expanding operations in Chhattisgarh as defined by the policy; the full policy document sets out the specific criteria.
What is Fixed Capital Investment (FCI)?
Fixed Capital Investment (FCI) generally means the total amount an enterprise puts into fixed assets — land, building, plant, machinery and other long-term assets needed to set up and run the business. The exact definition applied when calculating the subsidy will be specified in the Chhattisgarh Industrial Development Policy 2024-30.
What type of funding is this, and is it repayable?
The scheme pays out a non-repayable subsidy structured as a reimbursement, so enterprises keep the funds without any obligation to return them. It exists to offset costs the business has already borne.
How can new enterprises apply for this subsidy?
Applications are submitted to the relevant state industrial department or district industry centres in Chhattisgarh, along with proof of the enterprise's 'new' status, Fixed Capital Investment details, and invoices or receipts for project report costs. The complete step-by-step procedure and document list are set out in Section 8 of the Chhattisgarh Industrial Development Policy 2024-30.
