About this subsidy
The Capital Interest Subvention (CIS) program is a key financial incentive under the Jammu & Kashmir Industrial Development Scheme, 2021. Its primary objective is to significantly reduce the cost of capital for industrial units, thereby stimulating investment, fostering economic growth, and generating employment opportunities across the Union Territory of Jammu & Kashmir. This scheme specifically targets both new industrial units and existing enterprises embarking on substantial expansion projects, providing crucial financial relief through an interest subsidy. By making capital more accessible and affordable, the CIS aims to create a highly conducive environment for industrial establishment and sustainable growth, aligning with the broader vision of boosting the region's industrial landscape. The program supports investments in critical physical assets, including plant, machinery, building, and other durable assets, essential for both manufacturing and service sector operations.

What You Get
Eligible units can avail a substantial Capital Interest Subvention at an annual rate of 6% for a maximum period of 7 consecutive years. This valuable incentive is applicable on term loans procured for qualifying investments in plant and machinery within the manufacturing sector, or for the construction of buildings and other durable physical assets in the service sector. The subvention covers interest on loan principals up to a significant amount of ₹500 crore, offering substantial financial relief for large-scale projects. Furthermore, while the subvention reduces the effective interest burden, units are required to contribute a minimum annual interest rate of 2% even if the market lending rate drops below 8%, ensuring a shared commitment. This direct financial benefit is designed to drastically lower operational costs for businesses, making capital investments more attractive and ensuring the long-term viability and growth of industries in Jammu & Kashmir.
