About this scheme
The scheme operates as an incentive under the Chhattisgarh Industrial Development Policy 2024-30. Its purpose is to drive industrial growth within the state and generate employment. New industries receive support in the form of cost offsets for training the local skilled and semi-skilled workforce.
By covering part of the training expenditure, the scheme encourages businesses to direct investment towards human capital, with a focus on local talent. This is intended to advance economic development and skill enhancement across Chhattisgarh.
Reimbursing a share of training costs eases the financial load on new industries, which the government expects will make Chhattisgarh a more attractive destination for industrial investment. The scheme functions as a support mechanism for businesses that contribute to the state's industrial landscape.

- Assemble the required paperwork: evidence of the industry's new establishment, records of employee domicile and wages, invoices for training expenses, and proof that commercial production or operational activity has commenced. - Send the claim form together with the supporting documents to the concerned department of the Government of Chhattisgarh, following the policy's detailed guidelines. - For any given employee, the first claim must be filed only after that employee has completed one year of service since appointment. - Comply with the policy guidelines on the five-year applicability period and on the overall ceiling of 100% of fixed capital investment.
How applications are assessed
Applications are not ranked against one another under this programme; instead, each claim is put through a verification exercise. The department concerned within the Government of Chhattisgarh examines submissions for reimbursement and checks them against the eligibility conditions laid down in the Chhattisgarh Industrial Development Policy 2024-30. This scrutiny covers the documents furnished, confirming the unit's new status, the eligibility of each employee (domicile, wage level, and whether engaged as skilled or semi-skilled), and that training expenditure claimed is genuine. The date of commercial production or commencement of operational activity, along with the appointment dates of employees, is also verified. The claim is then assessed against the ceiling of one month's wage or ₹15,000 per person, as well as the overall cap on fixed capital investment.
Where the claim is found in order and approved, the reimbursement is paid out to the eligible industry.
