Madhya Pradesh publishes one of the clearest incentive sheets in the country and pays against milestones you can actually plan around. The headline: when a recognised financial institution invests in your startup, the state adds assistance of 15 percent of that investment, up to ₹15 lakh per round across multiple rounds. Add lease rental support, patent assistance and procurement exemptions, and Indore’s ecosystem suddenly looks very practical.
Flagship support
Investment-linked assistance
Assistance at 15 percent of investment received from recognised institutions, up to ₹15 lakh per tranche across up to four rounds.
Lease rental assistance
Support of a share of your workspace rent for the early years, cutting a fixed cost when it hurts most.
Patent assistance
Assistance toward patent costs for startups established in the state, up to ₹5 lakh.
Procurement exemptions
Relaxed experience and turnover conditions for startups in government tenders, plus proof-of-concept acceptance.
Who gets extra doors opened
For women founders
Women-founded startups receive an additional assistance percentage on top of standard rates, a direct financial edge written into the policy.
For startups solving public problems
Procurement easing and proof-of-concept acceptance let impact startups sell to the state early, and MP’s agri and food-processing base suits ventures building for Bharat.
