Market Development Assistance (exhibitions and trade fairs)
Under the earlier policy, manufacturing MSMEs could claim part of stall rent and display costs for State, national and international exhibitions. That scheme’s period ended on 06.08.2025. We check whether a current scheme or notification applies before you book a stall, and help units with pending claims under the earlier scheme where its time limits allow.
