About this scheme
The Reimbursement of Green Building Certification Fees scheme sits under the Maharashtra Industries Investment and Services Policy 2025. It targets the Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSME) sector in Maharashtra, with the objective of speeding up the take-up of sustainable practices.
Under this initiative, businesses that put money into environmentally sound infrastructure and operations can offset part of the cost of securing green building certifications. The Government of Maharashtra expects that pushing green building standards will lower the carbon footprint of industrial activity, save natural resources, and build a more sustainable industrial ecosystem.
The programme reflects the state's effort to keep industrial growth in step with environmental responsibility, so that businesses can grow while adding to ecological sustainability. Early adopters are treated as key to this shift, and the policy extends concrete support to those who bring sustainable development into their operations ahead of others.

How to apply
Applications for reimbursement of green building certification fees are handled within the wider framework of the Maharashtra Industries Investment and Services Policy 2025.
- An MSME must begin by securing a recognised green building certification for its premises or project from an approved certifying body. - The applicant then prepares and files a detailed application form, which is ordinarily made available via the MAITRI portal or the website of the relevant District Industries Centre (DIC). - Documents generally required comprise proof of MSME registration (Udyam Certificate), the green building certification documentation, original payment receipts for the certification fees, and bank account details for direct reimbursement. - The complete application package is thereafter scrutinised by the relevant government department, which verifies eligibility and the authenticity of the documents submitted. - Once verification and approval are completed, the certification fees are reimbursed in full directly into the MSME's bank account.
