About this scheme
Under the Chhattisgarh Industrial Development Policy 2024-30, the Research and Development Subsidy — delivered through Stamp Duty Exemption — functions as an incentive for industry. Its purpose is to build an ecosystem within the state that supports innovation and technological advancement, by prompting industries to set up and grow their R&D infrastructure.
Land and building acquisition or lease carries a sizeable upfront cost. The exemption reduces that burden, which the government expects will draw investment into research and development activity. The stated outcomes are economic growth, the creation of high-skill jobs, and indigenous innovation.
The scheme is intended to position Chhattisgarh as a destination for companies establishing R&D facilities.
