About this subsidy
The Land Transfer Fees Exemption is a crucial incentive under the Chhattisgarh Industrial Development Policy 2024-30, designed to catalyze economic revival and industrial growth within the state. This program specifically targets enterprises that have been declared closed or sick, offering them a significant financial relief when they seek to re-establish or expand operations. By exempting a portion of the land transfer fees, the policy aims to reduce the financial barriers associated with acquiring land in industrial areas or land banks, thereby encouraging the repurposing of distressed assets and fostering new enterprise creation. This strategic move is intended to boost industrial activity, create employment opportunities, and enhance the overall investment climate in Chhattisgarh.
