Nagaland Trade Fair Assistance 2025

Under clause 6.5 of NTIIP 2025, the Market Development Assistance scheme is intended to help units in Nagaland connect with buyers outside the State. A unit that qualifies can claim reimbursement of half the rent or participation fee paid for a stall at a domestic trade fair or exhibition held outside Nagaland. The ceiling on this reimbursement is Rs 50,000 for each event, per unit.

The assistance operates on a back-ended basis: the unit pays the organiser upfront and lodges its claim afterwards. Support is capped at two participations in a year, which means a unit may use this clause for a maximum of two out-of-State exhibitions annually.

1. Take part in a domestic trade fair or exhibition held outside Nagaland, and pay the stall rent or participation fee. 2. Submit an application to the Nagaland Department of Industries and Commerce under clause 6.5 of NTIIP. 3. Enclose the organiser's receipt or invoice for the rent or fee, the allotment letter, and proof of participation. 4. File the claim within the same financial year, and note that no more than two participations are permitted each year.

Before any reimbursement is sanctioned, the Department checks that the unit qualifies, that the event particulars are accurate, and that the rent receipts are in order. Only after these verifications are complete is the 50% reimbursement released, subject to the ceiling of Rs 50,000 per event.
