Chhattisgarh Technology Purchase Subsidy

The Chhattisgarh Technology Purchase Subsidy operates under the Chhattisgarh Industrial Development Policy 2024-30. It is intended to support industrial growth and technological advancement in the state by covering a substantial share of what enterprises spend to acquire technology.

Enterprises that buy technology from government research institutions such as the National Research Development Corporation (NRDC) can receive this support. The scheme is meant to encourage innovation, raise productivity and strengthen the competitiveness of local industries.

For MSMEs and other enterprises, the upfront cost of advanced technology can be a barrier. This subsidy addresses that barrier and thereby helps build a more modern and efficient industrial ecosystem in Chhattisgarh.

The scheme sits within a wider policy framework that seeks to create conditions favourable to industrial development and investment in the state.

- **Review the policy document:** Read the Chhattisgarh Industrial Development Policy 2024-30 in full, with particular attention to Section 11, so as to understand the detailed terms and conditions, the specific forms, and the documentation required. - **Purchase technology:** Procure eligible technology from the NRDC or another Government research centre, and ensure every transaction is properly documented with invoices and payment proofs. - **Prepare the application:** Assemble all necessary documents, including proof of enterprise registration, technology purchase invoices, payment confirmations, and any other forms specified by the Department of Industries, Chhattisgarh. - **Submit the application:** File the complete application with the Department of Industries, Chhattisgarh, or the designated nodal agency for industrial incentives. Ensure submission within any prescribed timelines. - **Verification and approval:** The authorities will verify the submitted application and documents to confirm eligibility and the authenticity of the technology purchase. - **Receive reimbursement:** Upon successful verification and approval, the eligible reimbursement amount (50% of cost, up to ₹10 Lakh) will be disbursed to the enterprise.

Applications for the Technology Purchase Subsidy are scrutinised by the Department of Industries, Chhattisgarh, or a committee it nominates. The review is essentially a check-and-approve exercise: documents furnished by the enterprise are examined to confirm that every eligibility condition is satisfied — valid registration, evidence of technology bought from a government-approved research centre, and compliance with the monetary ceilings set out in the policy.

An application moves forward only when the claims made in it are found to be complete and in keeping with the terms of the Chhattisgarh Industrial Development Policy 2024-30.
