Goa State Logistics And Warehousing Incentives Scheme: Subsidy on Stamp Duty and Registration Charges

The Goa State Logistics and Warehousing Incentives Scheme: Subsidy on Stamp Duty and Registration Charges is implemented by the Directorate of Industries, Trade and Commerce (DITC), Government of Goa as part of the broader Goa State Logistics and Warehousing Incentives Scheme. The scheme aligns with the Goa Logistics and Warehousing Policy, 2023, which aims to strengthen logistics infrastructure and attract investment in supply chain facilities within the state. The incentive forms part of a package of eight logistics support schemes announced by the government and is expected to remain operational for three years from the date of notification, unless extended.

This component focuses on reducing the transaction costs involved in establishing logistics and warehousing infrastructure. Developers and enterprises often incur significant expenses while purchasing land or registering property for logistics projects. By reimbursing stamp duty and registration charges, the government helps reduce the initial financial burden for businesses. For you as an MSME or developer planning to establish a warehouse or logistics facility in Goa, this subsidy can significantly lower the upfront cost of land and property registration.
