Key Features

Capital Investment Support- The scheme provides capital investment subsidy to eligible new and expanding industrial units. This reduces your initial financial burden on plant and machinery, buildings, and other eligible fixed assets, subject to prescribed ceilings.
SGST Reimbursement- Eligible units can receive reimbursement of net State GST paid for a specified period. This directly improves working capital management and supports smoother business operations during the initial years.
Interest Subsidy- Interest subsidy is available on term loans taken from recognised financial institutions. This lowers your effective borrowing cost and improves cash flow stability during the repayment period.
Employment Generation Incentive- The scheme promotes local employment by offering incentives linked to hiring eligible local youth. This encourages inclusive growth while helping you manage wage-related costs.
Infrastructure and Power Support- Eligible units may receive reimbursement of a percentage of power charges and certain infrastructure-related support as notified. This is particularly beneficial for manufacturing units with high electricity consumption.
Support for Priority Sectors- The scheme focuses on thrust sectors such as food processing, bamboo products, rubber-based industries, tourism, IT and manufacturing, to strengthen Tripura’s industrial ecosystem.
Coverage for MSME and Large Enterprises- Both Micro, Small, Medium and Large enterprises can apply, subject to meeting eligibility conditions and investment norms.
Applicable to New and Expansion Units- The benefits are available for newly established units as well as existing units undertaking substantial expansion or diversification with additional investment.
