Investment Promotion Scheme (IPS) for MSME Sector: Assistance For Saving In Consumption Of Energy And Water

The Investment Promotion Scheme (IPS) for the MSME Sector in Dadra & Nagar Haveli and Daman & Diu is an initiative of the Department of Industries. It aims to build a stable MSME ecosystem by providing incentives that buffer businesses against market volatility, support women's participation, lower local unemployment, and promote the hiring of resident labour.

Under this scheme, the "Assistance For Saving In Consumption Of Energy And Water" sub-scheme focuses on environmental sustainability and operational efficiency. It offers financial support to new and existing manufacturing and service enterprises that adopt measures to cut their energy and water usage. The assistance is released after verification by energy or water auditors, confirming that investments in efficiency equipment have been made. This helps businesses reduce operational costs while supporting conservation efforts in the Union Territory.
