Frequently asked questions

Plain answers to the questions promoters ask first.

The answers below are general. Eligibility conditions, rates, limits and procedures are confirmed for each project against the current official notifications before we advise.

What services does Credvalue Financial Services provide?

Industrial subsidy advisory under Chhattisgarh's Industrial Development Policy 2024-30 and Logistics Policy 2025, project finance and working capital proposals, Detailed Project Reports and CMA data, central MSME scheme applications (PMEGP, CGTMSE-backed credit, Agriculture Infrastructure Fund, Udyam), pollution control consent assistance, factory licence assistance, and coordination of other industrial permissions. The firm also helps with entity structuring and registrations for the project.

Which businesses may qualify for Chhattisgarh industrial subsidies?

New and expanding manufacturing units, eligible service enterprises and logistics facilities located in Chhattisgarh may qualify, depending on the activity, the block where the unit is located, the investment in plant and machinery, the unit type and the policy's exclusion list. Some activities are ineligible in certain block groups. Eligibility is confirmed only after a project-specific check and, where needed, written confirmation from the District Trade and Industries Centre (DTIC).

Can a new manufacturing unit apply for incentives?

Yes, new units are the main beneficiaries of the state policy, subject to activity, location and investment conditions. The timing matters: registration with DTIC and, where applicable, in-principle approval are expected before commercial production starts. Units that commence production first and plan the application later often find that the available options have narrowed.

Why should subsidy eligibility be checked before commencing production?

Several incentives are tied to dates: the date of registration, the date of in-principle approval, the date of commercial production and the period within which claims are filed. Checking eligibility early allows the entity structure, the land documents, the bank proposal and the production timeline to be aligned with the conditions, instead of discovering a gap after the unit is already running.

What is the difference between FCI subsidy and Net SGST reimbursement?

Under IDP 2024-30 an eligible unit elects one of two routes. The Fixed Capital Investment (FCI) subsidy is a grant calculated on eligible fixed capital investment. Net SGST reimbursement returns the state GST actually paid in cash on eligible sales over a period. The two are mutually exclusive and the election is made once. For most B2B manufacturers the FCI route is the realistic one; for consumer-facing units with in-state sales the SGST route can be worth comparing. We prepare a year-wise comparison before the client commits.

What documents are needed for industrial project finance?

Typically: promoter KYC and net-worth statements, the entity's constitution documents, land papers or allotment letter, quotations for plant and machinery, building estimates, the Detailed Project Report with projections, CMA data for working capital, existing financials for expansion cases, and the registrations the bank expects (Udyam, GST and so on). The exact list depends on the lender and the facility.

What is a DPR?

A Detailed Project Report is the document that describes the project: promoters, product, process, location, capacity, project cost, means of finance, implementation schedule, and projected financial statements with ratios such as DSCR. Banks use it to appraise a term loan; departments use it for land allotment and incentive applications.

What is CMA data?

Credit Monitoring Arrangement data is the set of financial statements and projections in the format banks use to assess working capital limits: operating statement, balance sheet analysis, current assets and liabilities, calculation of maximum permissible bank finance and fund-flow statement, usually for two past years, the current year and projected years.

What is DSCR?

Debt Service Coverage Ratio compares the cash available to service debt (profit after tax plus depreciation plus interest on term loans) with the debt service due (interest plus principal instalments) in a year. Banks look at year-wise and average DSCR to judge whether the project can repay the proposed term loan with a margin of safety.

Can Credvalue help with cash credit and working capital?

Yes. We prepare the CMA data and working capital assessment for cash credit, bank guarantee and other limits, for new units and for enhancement of existing limits, and coordinate the proposal with the lender.

What is CGTMSE, and does it guarantee loan approval?

CGTMSE is the Credit Guarantee Fund Trust for Micro and Small Enterprises. It provides guarantee cover to lenders on eligible credit facilities so that the lender can extend credit without third-party collateral, subject to the scheme's limits and the lender's own appraisal. It does not guarantee that a loan will be sanctioned; the lender still assesses the borrower and the project.

Can warehouse and cold-storage projects receive incentives?

Warehouses, cold storages and other logistics facilities in Chhattisgarh are addressed by the State Logistics Policy 2025, which has its own definitions of eligible investment and its own incentive heads. Agro-processing storage may also be eligible for central support under the Agriculture Infrastructure Fund. Eligibility depends on the facility type, size, location and compliance with the policy's conditions.

What is Consent to Establish?

Consent to Establish (CTE) is the consent an industrial unit obtains from the State Pollution Control Board, in Chhattisgarh the Chhattisgarh Environment Conservation Board (CECB), before establishing the unit, under the Water and Air Acts, where the activity falls within the categories that require it.

What is Consent to Operate?

Consent to Operate (CTO) is the consent obtained before the unit starts operating, confirming that the pollution control measures described at the CTE stage are in place. It is issued for a period and renewed, and the conditions attached to it must be complied with during operation.

Does every industrial unit require CTE and CTO?

No. The requirement depends on the unit's category (white, green, orange or red) under the pollution potential classification, its capacity and the current rules. Some white-category activities only need an intimation or are exempt. The classification is checked for the specific activity and scale before advising.

Can Credvalue assist with factory licence applications and renewals?

Yes. We help determine whether the establishment falls under the factory licensing framework, prepare the application and supporting documents, coordinate with the relevant authority and handle renewals and queries. The thresholds and procedure are confirmed for the specific establishment before advising.

Which department handles pollution-control approvals in Chhattisgarh?

The Chhattisgarh Environment Conservation Board (CECB) issues Consent to Establish and Consent to Operate for the state. Environmental clearance for projects that require it is a separate process under the central environment ministry or the state-level authority, depending on the project category.

What other permissions may be required before production?

Depending on the project: industrial land allotment and lease documentation, building plan approval, fire safety approval, electricity connection and electrical inspector clearance, water or groundwater permission, boiler registration, weights and measures, food licensing for food units, and sector-specific licences. We list the applicable ones for the specific unit rather than assuming a universal set.

Can Credvalue assist with an existing subsidy claim?

Yes. We review pending claims, identify documentation gaps, prepare corrections and representations, respond to departmental queries and, where a claim has been rejected, assess the grounds and prepare the appeal.

How do I begin a project assessment?

Send the basics through the project assessment form or on WhatsApp: district, activity, new or expansion, approximate investment and current stage. We come back with clarifying questions, an outline of the applicable incentives and approvals, and a proposed scope.
