What is R&D Centre Scheme?
Part of: Haryana Progressive MSME & Export Promotion Policy 2026 (clause 4.3.2)
Also in this part of the policy: Testing Equipment Scheme · Quality Certification Scheme · MSME Automation · AI Adoption Scheme
Clause 4.3.2 of the Haryana Progressive MSME & Export Promotion Policy 2026 assists manufacturing MSMEs in setting up Research & Development Centres or laboratories, at 50% of project cost up to ₹5 Crore; within this, the cost of building is admissible only up to 25% of the project cost.
The centre may be standalone or within the premises of an existing or new enterprise, and it must be recognised by the Department of Scientific and Industrial Research (DSIR) or the Council of Scientific & Industrial Research (CSIR).
Because recognition takes time, a unit may apply within three years of the R&D unit commencing operations.
Eligible cost covers infrastructure and utilities (excluding land), buildings, plant, machinery, equipment, power backup, hardware and software; working capital, pre-operative expenses, capitalised interest, technology acquisition and know-how, consultancy, royalty, design, patents and other IP costs are excluded.
