The "Assistance For Marble, IT & ITeS, Electric Vehicles & Spare Parts, Toys Units And Semi-Conductor Industries Sectors" sub-scheme functions under the Investment Promotion Scheme (IPS) for the MSME Sector. It was initially launched on July 3rd, 2015, for a five-year term, and was extended from May 20th, 2022, remaining active until May 19th, 2027. The Department of Industries, U.T. Administration of Dadra & Nagar Haveli and Daman & Diu manages it.

The sub-scheme provides targeted subsidies to promote specific thrust sectors: Marble, Information Technology (IT) & IT Enabled Services (ITeS), Electric Vehicles (EVs) & their Spare Parts, Toys Manufacturing Units, and the Semi-Conductor Industries. This focus aims to foster industrial growth and innovation within these areas across the Union Territory.

The broader IPS also addresses socio-economic goals. These include developing the U.T. into a specialised hub for various industries, increasing women's participation in business, reducing unemployment among local residents, and incentivising industries to employ resident labourers. Through these financial incentives, the scheme seeks to build a more vibrant and inclusive industrial environment in Dadra & Nagar Haveli and Daman & Diu.
