About this subsidy
Clause 4.1.3 (C) (iii) of the Maharashtra Industries, Investment and Services Policy 2025 offsets the cost of showing up at industry summits, workshops, exhibitions and networking events.
The State reimburses up to 30% of eligible expenses — participation fees, registration charges and promotional materials — capped at ₹5 lakh for domestic events and ₹10 lakh for international events, per unit. Participation is channelled through recognized industry associations for national and international industry summits, workshops, exhibitions and networking events.
What counts as an eligible expense is defined narrowly: the fee to take part, the registration charge, and what you spend on promotional material. Plan the claim around those heads rather than around travel or hospitality.
