About this subsidy
The J&K Wool Processing, Handloom & Handicraft Policy 2020 helps weavers sell direct online.
The Government provides marketing support for registration of crafts on e-platform websites like Flipkart and Amazon, with the cost shared on a 50:50 basis between the weaver and the government. Half the onboarding cost — registration, listing, cataloguing — is therefore borne by the state.
For a weaver in Kashmir, marketplace access changes the economics of the craft: it removes the middleman margin that otherwise sits between a hand-woven shawl and a buyer in another state. The 50:50 split lowers the cost of finding out whether that channel works for your product.
