About this scheme
Under Clause 3.4.7.i.a of the Meghalaya Industrial and Investment Promotion Policy (MIIPP) 2024, Micro and Small Units can claim a subsidy covering 50% of what they spend on Power Generating Sets bought for captive use. Non-conventional and renewable energy systems fall within the scope of this support.
The upper limit on the subsidy stands at Rs 10 lakhs where Conventional Sets are concerned, and Rs 25 Lakhs for Non-Conventional or Renewable Energy systems. The higher ceiling for renewable options reflects a deliberate tilt towards clean captive generation.
