Capital Investment Subsidy for Creation of Infrastructure

The Tourism Department, Government of Madhya Pradesh, introduced the "Capital Investment Subsidy For Creation Of Infrastructure" scheme, which the Madhya Pradesh Tourism Board administers. Its main aim is to draw private investment into tourism infrastructure that is critical to the state. The scheme covers land and heritage assets taken on lease from the Tourism Department, and applies to the development of facilities such as power supply, water supply, approach roads, sewage and drainage systems.

Through financial incentives to private developers, the scheme seeks to improve Madhya Pradesh's tourism landscape. By meeting part of the fixed capital investment, the government lowers the financial load on investors, which in turn encourages more projects that add to the state's tourism infrastructure.

Such support matters for building quality tourist facilities and for making heritage sites easier to reach, which helps tourism and local economies.
