About this subsidy
Clause 3.4.4.i of the Meghalaya Industrial and Investment Promotion Policy (MIIPP) 2024 gives micro industrial units an additional incentive of 10% on the cost of factory building and plant for manufacturing, and on other durable physical assets and machinery.
The additional incentive applies where the majority shareholder is a physically challenged person or other special category individual and is a domicile of Meghalaya.
It sits on top of the standard State Capital Investment Incentive available to micro units under the same policy.

What You Get
An additional 10% on the cost of factory building and plant for manufacturing, plus other durable physical assets and machinery. This is a top-up on the standard capital investment incentive, so a qualifying micro unit effectively recovers a larger share of its setup cost. The clause states no separate rupee ceiling for this top-up.
