About this scheme
Under the Sustainable Industrial Policy Ladakh 2022-27, market-access assistance is structured to decline as an enterprise builds a track record at exhibitions. An enterprise taking part for the second time in a national or international fashion show, trade fair, exhibition or buyer-seller meet may claim 50% of participation costs, subject to a ceiling of Rs. 1 lakh.
Industrial units — new and existing, whether or not they have undertaken substantial expansion — are eligible to apply, as are registered cooperatives and FPOs operating in handicraft, handloom, agro and food processing, and aromatic or medicinal plants.
Support is confined to two cost heads: the registration fee and space rental charges.
