About this scheme
Under the Sustainable Industrial Policy Ladakh 2022-27, an enterprise taking part in a national or international fashion show, trade fair, exhibition or buyer-seller meet for the third time can claim reimbursement of half the participation cost, subject to a ceiling of Rs. 50,000 per enterprise. This forms the last and least generous rung of the exhibition support ladder.
Industrial units — whether new or existing, and regardless of whether 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.
Reimbursement is confined to the registration fee and space rental charges. No other cost heads are admissible.
