About this scheme
Under the Uttar Pradesh Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSME) Promotion Policy 2022, MSMEs can claim reimbursement of the consultation fee paid for obtaining a green rating from the Indian Green Building Council (IGBC). The scheme exists to offset part of the cost that firms incur when they go in for recognised green certification.
By meeting a portion of the consultation fee, the Government of Uttar Pradesh seeks to build a greener industrial base in the state. The intended outcomes include a lower carbon footprint for industry, more efficient use of resources, and stronger market standing for MSMEs as buyers and export markets place greater weight on sustainability.
The scheme reflects the state's wider push towards sustainable industrial development, tying economic growth to environmental responsibility.
