This compendium provides a comprehensive pan-India view of incentives that power investment, manufacturing, and exports.
It brings together the full spectrum of central and state-level incentive schemes available to businesses across India. It serves as a practical guide for corporates, investors, GCCs, MSMEs, and policymakers seeking to understand and leverage India’s evolving incentive architecture.
What this compendium covers:
- Incentives for exporters: A detailed mapping of all key FTP-linked schemes, such as RoDTEP, advance authorisation, DFIA, EPCG, duty drawback, SEZ incentives, EOUs, and new-age enablers like MOOWR, MAI, MDA, IES, and ECGC support.
- Production-linked incentive (PLI) schemes: A snapshot of PLI schemes currently open for applications, along with details such as tenure, incentive rates, thresholds, and sector-specific design features.
- Other key central incentives: Coverage of central programmes, such as the National ESS Policy, VGF scheme, National Electronics Policy, PMP, National Logistics Policy, SPECS, and EMC 2.0. These central incentives highlight both financial and regulatory incentives, including R&D support, capital subsidies, logistics reforms, cluster development, and import duty structuring.
