About this subsidy
The Sustainable Industrial Policy Ladakh 2022-27 helps local producers get in front of buyers by reimbursing half the cost of exhibiting at national and international fashion shows, trade fairs, exhibitions and buyer-seller meets. For the first such participation, an enterprise can claim 50% of the cost up to Rs. 2 lakh.
The support is aimed at industrial units (new and existing, irrespective of substantial expansion) and at registered cooperatives and FPOs working in handicraft, handloom, agro and food processing, and aromatic or medicinal plants. Only the registration fee and space rental charges are admissible — travel, freight and staffing are not covered.
