Incentive Compliance & Documentation Service for Punjab Manufacturers
The Opportunity
Punjab's new 2026 Industrial Policy offers complex, multi-layered incentives (capital subsidy, freight subsidy, customised packages, sector-specific bonuses) that manufacturers must navigate to claim ₹25 Cr+ benefits. Most SMEs lack in-house expertise to identify eligible schemes, prepare applications, and maintain compliance documentation—creating a gap for specialized advisory services.
