Artisan crafts, handloom, carpets and traditional products. Here is exactly what your handicraft & handloom enterprise can claim under RIPS 2024 and allied Rajasthan schemes.
Handicraft and handloom is one of Rajasthan's signature sectors, and much of it maps directly to the ODOP policy. Jodhpur is India's wooden-furniture and handicraft export hub, Jaipur leads in blue pottery and Sanganeri-Bagru block printing, Pratapgarh has the unique Thewa gold-on-glass craft, and Kota Doria anchors handloom. A handicraft or handloom unit making its district's identified product is treated as a priority ODOP unit, unlocking 25% margin money for micro units (max ₹15 lakh), with export-oriented units adding RIPS export-promotion boosters. We position the unit on the right ODOP product and file the export add-ons where applicable.
| Benefit | Basis | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| ODOP margin money | 25% micro / 15% small | Max ₹15L / ₹20L |
| Technology assistance | 50% of cost | Max ₹5 lakh per unit |
| Quality / GI certification | 75% reimbursement | Boosts export value |
| BRUPY (if SC/ST) | 9% interest subsidy + 25% margin money | Most artisans qualify |
Immediate (Year 0–1): margin-money subsidy reduces your own contribution at sanction, CGTMSE removes the collateral barrier, and interest subsidy lowers your EMI from the first instalment.
Long-term (Year 2–10): capital subsidy is disbursed in annual instalments over up to 10 years, SGST reimbursement runs 7–10 years, and EPF/ESI reimbursement continues for 7 years — a compounding cash-flow advantage as you scale.
This split is explained with numbers in our Immediate vs Long-Term RIPS benefits guide.

Figures are indicative and for illustration only. The exact capital-subsidy slab depends on project category and the area category of the tehsil; backward areas attract higher rates. Your precise eligibility is computed in your free assessment.
A handicraft or handloom unit registers on Udyam and as an ODOP enterprise for its district's identified product, then files the ODOP margin-money and RIPS applications through the state portal. Export-oriented units additionally register for the RIPS export-promotion boosters. We position the unit on the correct ODOP product, prepare the project report, and file the export add-ons where the unit ships overseas.
