FAQ’s

What is the time frame for the scheme's operation?

The scheme is active from May 20, 2022, and will continue for five years until May 19, 2027.

If my unit qualifies for more than one government scheme, can I choose the one with the best benefits?

Yes, you can choose any one scheme if your unit is eligible for multiple schemes. However, you cannot claim benefits for the same subsidy under different schemes. You can apply for schemes that complement each other.

What kind of products are eligible for export benefits under this scheme?

What if an enterprise is sold or transferred to a new owner within the first five years? Will the incentives continue?

If a new enterprise is sold or transferred within the first five years of establishment, the new owner can continue to receive the incentive benefits, but only for the remaining unexpired period.

Expansion or Diversification means that an existing or new enterprise increases its investment by at least 50%. Crucially, at least 60% of this new investment must be in plant and machinery related to the expansion. This is compared to the Gross Fixed Capital Investment at the time expansion began, and then to the production commencement date during the scheme's active period. Only one such expansion or diversification is eligible for assistance during the scheme's operative duration.

When can my eligible unit start receiving benefits if it was established in 2023?

If your enterprise becomes eligible in 2023, you can start receiving benefits from your production date. These benefits can continue for up to 5 years, even if that period extends beyond the scheme's overall operative end date.
