About this scheme
Under the Chhattisgarh Industrial Development Policy 2024-30, the Water and Energy Audit Expense Reimbursement programme supports sustainable industrial practice in the state. It is aimed at pharmaceutical sector industries that commission water and energy audits, and it reduces the cost burden such audits place on them.
By covering a substantial share of audit expenses, the scheme gives businesses a reason to locate inefficiencies, use resources more carefully and adopt greener technologies.
The results claimed are twofold: environmental conservation, and improved operational efficiency and competitiveness for local industries, which together build a more sustainable industrial ecosystem in Chhattisgarh. The policy treats responsible resource management as important and offers a direct incentive for its adoption among the industries it targets.
