About this scheme
The National Jute Board, operating under the Ministry of Textiles, runs the "Production Linked Incentive Support on JDPs" scheme. Its purpose is to sharpen the global competitiveness of Indian Jute Diversified Products (JDPs), grow India's share of worldwide jute exports, draw fresh entrepreneurs into the sector, and lift export values to ₹1600 crore by 2026.
Under the scheme, five percent of the raw jute material cost used in manufacturing exported JDPs is reimbursed. That reimbursement cannot exceed three percent of the sales value of those exports, and total support is capped at ₹12,00,000 per unit per annum.
Jute Mill Companies and Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprise (MSME) units set up in India that manufacture and export JDPs are eligible to apply. The National Jute Board implements and oversees the scheme, which provides an online application and claim process.

How applications are assessed
The scheme operates through verification rather than competitive selection. Applications are registered first, after which claimants file quarterly claims. The National Jute Board then examines each claim and cross-checks the uploaded documents against the eligibility and disbursement criteria.
Where the Board finds discrepancies or shortcomings during this examination, it informs the claimants by email so they can clarify or comply. The incentive amount is disbursed once the claim is validated as eligible.
Frequently asked questions
What is the primary objective of the Production Linked Incentive Support on JDPs scheme?
The scheme seeks to make Indian Jute Diversified Products (JDPs) more competitive globally, raise India's share of jute exports, draw in new entrepreneurs, and lift export values to ₹1600 crore by 2026.
What kind of financial incentive does this scheme offer?
The scheme reimburses 5% of the cost of raw jute used in manufacturing exported JDPs, subject to a ceiling of 3% of the export sales value, whichever is lower, and capped at ₹12,00,000 per unit per annum.
Who is eligible to apply for this scheme?
Jute mill companies and MSME units operating in India that manufacture and export Jute Diversified Products qualify for this scheme. Eligibility requires the products to carry over 50% jute content, or 33% in multifibre items where jute is the dominant fibre.
How are the claims disbursed?
Claims are settled quarterly, within two months of submission, as long as the documentation is complete. Payment for jute material and receipt of export proceeds must be routed electronically or through banks; cash transactions do not qualify.
Can I claim other incentives for the same products?
No — the National Jute Board requires claimants to submit an undertaking confirming that no other incentive has been, or will be, claimed for the same Jute Diversified Products production and exports.
What happens if claims are found to be fraudulent?
A unit that obtains subsidy benefits through false or fraudulent documents must repay the entire subsidy amount received, plus interest calculated at the prevailing bank rate for commercial loans.
