About this scheme
The Financial Assistance for Raising Capital through SME Exchange operates under the Jharkhand MSME Promotion Policy 2023. It extends support to New Enterprises in Jharkhand that intend to raise capital by listing on an SME Exchange. The purpose is to draw emerging businesses towards public markets, which in turn supports growth, investment and employment generation in the state's MSME sector. By covering part of the listing costs, the Jharkhand Government seeks to lower financial hurdles and build a stronger environment for capital formation and enterprise development.
This incentive is meant for new businesses that have already completed raising equity capital through an SME Exchange, in line with the schemes approved by such exchanges. It reflects the state's effort to provide MSMEs with conditions that help them scale up and compete more effectively, adding to Jharkhand's economic growth and industrial diversification.
