About this scheme
The Government of Himachal Pradesh introduced the Lease Rental Subsidy as part of the AYUSH Policy 2019. The scheme extends financial support to AYUSH enterprises — Ayurveda, Yoga and Naturopathy, Unani, Siddha and Homoeopathy — that are being set up or expanded within the state.
By covering a portion of lease rental costs, the policy lowers the operating expenses these businesses face. This makes it more feasible for new startups and established units alike to begin or grow their activities in Himachal Pradesh.
The assistance carries particular weight in the early years of operation, when rental outgo can strain a young enterprise. It forms part of a wider effort to build an ecosystem for traditional medicine and wellness practices in the state, in step with national efforts to advance AYUSH systems.
The subsidy reflects the state's stated aim of strengthening its traditional healthcare sector through direct financial incentives, while also supporting local economic activity.
