About this scheme
The Department of Industries, Dadra & Nagar Haveli and Daman & Diu introduced the Investment Promotion Scheme (IPS) in 2015, with its validity extended to May 19, 2027. The scheme is designed to support the growth of the MSME sector within the Union Territory. Its stated aims include shielding MSMEs from market volatility, increasing their operational vitality, and positioning the U.T. as a dedicated centre for the sector. The programme also seeks to raise women's participation in business, cut local unemployment, and encourage industries to hire resident workers.
A key component of IPS is the Environment Protection Infrastructure Subsidy. This sub-scheme offers financial support to enterprises setting up facilities for effluent treatment, hazardous waste management, and wastewater recycling. It also extends assistance to manufacturing units that produce eco-friendly alternatives to single-use plastic items, helping them meet environmental regulations and contributing to a more sustainable regional economy.
