Our Five-Step Advisory Framework
1. Policy Landscape Mapping
We begin by analyzing the latest industrial policies of every relevant state. Each policy defines priority sectors, eligible investments, and types of incentives offered — from cash grants to tax refunds. We summarise these across parameters such as:
- Minimum capital investment thresholds.
- Employment or local-value-addition criteria.
- Zone-based benefits (mega/ultra-mega projects, backward-area incentives).
- Policy validity period and disbursement process.
This creates a clear snapshot of which states align best with your sector and budget.
2. Eligibility & Threshold Diagnostic
We overlay your proposed investment, business model, and product line with these policies. The diagnostic identifies:
- Whether your project meets the minimum eligibility criteria.
- What modifications (scale, employment, location) can improve qualification?
- Which departments or nodal agencies will handle approvals?
- Documentation and proof requirements for pre-sanction and post-commissioning phases.
This phase ensures you enter the right policy basket from day one.
3. Incentive Stacking & Sequencing Strategy
Some states allow combining (stacking) their policy benefits with central schemes like PLI, SPECS, or renewable-energy incentives. Others require exclusivity. We prepare a sequencing plan — what to file first, when to commence capex, and how to maintain compliance with both central and state guidelines.
4. Location & Cost Optimization
Incentive value must be balanced with operating practicality. We evaluate multiple locations across shortlisted states, comparing:
- Land cost and availability in industrial zones.
- Power tariffs and rebates.
- Connectivity and logistics ecosystem.
- Labour-law flexibility and local skill availability.
- Infrastructure development (parks, clusters, corridors).
This ensures your final location is optimal not only for incentives but also for long-term efficiency.
5. Filing, Liaison & Monitoring Support
Once the plan is locked, we assist through every step —
- Preparation of incentive applications and annexures.
- Coordination with state departments for acknowledgement and inspection.
- Submission of utilization certificates and claim renewals.
- Maintaining a compliance calendar for multi-year benefits.
You receive an audit-ready documentation pack and periodic progress updates until the incentive is sanctioned and released.
