Capital Investment Subsidy for Establishment of New Resort and Wellness Centre (Madhya Pradesh)

The Tourism Department, Government of Madhya Pradesh, administers the Capital Investment Subsidy for Establishment of New Resort and Wellness Centre. The scheme supports private investment in hospitality projects, specifically new resorts and wellness centres offering Ayurvedic, Yoga, and Naturopathic treatment facilities. Financial incentives are provided to entrepreneurs and businesses establishing projects aligned with the state's holistic tourism objectives.

The subsidy applies to fixed capital investments made by eligible units, reducing the financial risk of new ventures and supporting their operational launch. The emphasis on wellness centres responds to demand for health-focused tourism. Recipients must maintain operational continuity for a specified period, failing which the subsidy is repayable. The Madhya Pradesh Tourism Board implements the scheme, with provisions for transparent and efficient disbursement.
