About this scheme
The Quality Certification Assistance Scheme, operated by the Industries and Commerce Department, Government of Haryana, extends financial support to Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) within the state. Meeting recognised quality standards is essential for business expansion, operational efficiency, market access, and building trust in a competitive environment. The scheme reduces the cost burden that MSMEs face when pursuing these certifications.
Through this assistance, Haryana-based enterprises can implement quality management systems that align with national and international certification requirements. The programme encourages a culture of quality and innovation across the state’s industrial base, helping local firms compete more effectively and participate in global supply chains.
