About this scheme
The National Jute Board, operating under the Ministry of Textiles, administers the Production Linked Incentive Support on JDPs scheme. Its stated objectives are to improve the international competitiveness of Indian Jute Diversified Products (JDPs), raise India's share of global jute exports, and draw new entrepreneurs into the sector. The scheme targets an export value of ₹1600 crore by 2026.
Under the scheme, manufacturers receive a reimbursement of five percent of the cost of raw jute material used in producing exported JDPs. This amount is subject to a ceiling of three percent of the export sales value, with an annual cap of ₹12,00,000 per unit. Jute Mill Companies and Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprise (MSME) units based in India that manufacture and export JDPs are eligible to apply. The National Jute Board manages the entire process, including the online application and claim procedure.

How applications are assessed
The scheme operates through a verification process rather than a competitive selection. Applications are registered first, after which claimants submit quarterly claims. The National Jute Board examines these claims and cross-checks all uploaded documents against the eligibility and disbursement criteria. Any discrepancies or gaps found during this review are sent to claimants by email for clarification or rectification. Once the claims are validated, the eligible incentive amount is released.
