The Jharkhand government has issued the draft Jharkhand Industrial Investment Promotion Policy (JIIPP) 2026 and the Jharkhand Textile, Apparel and Footwear Policy 2026 for public feedback ahead of their final approval.
The draft policies have been released before the National Stakeholder Consultation Meet, scheduled to be held in New Delhi on July 8–9.
Under the draft Jharkhand Textile, Apparel and Footwear Policy 2026, the state aims to attract investments of over Rs 1,000 crore US $ 104.8 million and generate more than 20,000 additional jobs.
The policy proposes a 20% Comprehensive Project Investment Subsidy (CPIS) on fixed capital investment, capped at Rs 50 crore US $ 5.24 million. With additional incentives, the effective subsidy can increase to 35%.
The draft policy also offers 100% reimbursement of net SGST for seven years, followed by 40% reimbursement for the next three years.
Other incentives include 50% power tariff reimbursement for five years, 100% electricity duty reimbursement for five years (extendable to seven years for units using renewable energy), and wage subsidies of up to Rs 6,000 US $ 63 per worker per month.
It also provides support for textile parks, incubation centres, startups, skill development and export-oriented manufacturing.
The Directorate of Industries has uploaded both draft policies on the Jharkhand Single Window Portal, inviting comments and suggestions from industry associations, businesses, stakeholders and the public.
According to the state government, releasing the draft policies before Cabinet approval reflects its commitment to a transparent and consultative policy-making process. The proposed framework is intended to strengthen the state’s manufacturing ecosystem, attract fresh investments, accelerate the growth of the textile, apparel and footwear sectors, and generate sustainable employment.
The two-day consultation in New Delhi will bring together industry leaders, textile professionals, manufacturers and economists to review the draft policies and recommend improvements.
Chief Minister Hemant Soren will chair a dedicated stakeholder consultation on July 9, while several Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs) are expected to be signed to promote industrial investment and employment generation in Jharkhand.
