What is Export Freight Subsidy?
Part of: Haryana Progressive MSME & Export Promotion Policy 2026 (clause 4.2.4)
Also in this part of the policy: Stamp Duty Refund · Pratham Niryatak Yojna · Cluster Plug & Play · Common Facility Centre (CFC) · PADMA Export Parks
Clause 4.2.4 of the Haryana Progressive MSME & Export Promotion Policy 2026 reimburses new MSE exporters holding ZED certification 1% of Free on Board (FOB) value, or actual freight excluding government fees and taxes, whichever is less, on transport of goods from the place of manufacture to the seaport or air cargo terminal, or by road up to the international border.
The annual cap per unit is ₹10 Lakh in Core Areas, ₹15 Lakh in Intermediate and Sub-Prime Areas, and ₹30 Lakh in Prime/Focus Areas. A unit availing a Central Government freight incentive cannot claim this scheme for the same component, and vice versa.
