About this subsidy
Market Development Assistance under clause 6.5 of NTIIP 2025 helps Nagaland units reach buyers beyond the State. Eligible units are reimbursed 50% of the rent or participation fee they pay for a stall at a domestic trade fair or exhibition held outside Nagaland, subject to a maximum of Rs 50,000 per event per unit. The assistance is back-ended — you pay the organiser first and claim afterwards — and is limited to two participations per year, so a unit can support two out-of-State shows annually under this clause.
