Mineral & Stone Processing Subsidy in Rajasthan

Marble, granite, sandstone and mineral grinding units. Here is exactly what your mineral & stone processing enterprise can claim under RIPS 2024 and allied Rajasthan schemes.

Marble, granite, sandstone and mineral grinding units (Kishangarh, Makrana, Jalore, Dholpur, Rajsamand) get RIPS 2024 capital/investment subsidy; many also qualify under ODOP as the district product.

Why mineral & stone units are strong subsidy candidates

Rajasthan is India's leading marble, granite and sandstone state, and the clusters are well defined. Makrana in Nagaur supplies globally famous marble, Kishangarh in Ajmer is Asia's largest marble market, Jalore leads in granite, Rajsamand anchors the Rajnagar marble belt, and Dholpur and Karauli are known for red sandstone. Marble, granite and stone-processing units are prime candidates for RIPS 2024 capital subsidy and interest subvention as mineral-sector units, and many also qualify for ODOP margin money where stone is the district's identified product. We position the unit on the right scheme combination and area category for the maximum claim.

Immediate vs long-term benefits

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.

How to claim — and what we file

A mineral or stone-processing unit registers on Udyam and files its RIPS 2024 application with EFCI documentation; where stone is the district's ODOP product, it also registers as an ODOP enterprise for margin money. We map the unit to the correct area category and file the right combination of RIPS capital subsidy, interest subvention and ODOP margin money for the maximum claim.
