Madhya Pradesh Tourism Board is accepting tourism subsidy claims in 2026 under Capital Investment Subsidy for Establishment of New Resort and Wellness Centre. Private investors setting up a new wellness resort in the state can get 15% capital subsidy, and live scheme references now place the maximum support at up to ₹2,00,00,000.
Applications are linked to the Tourism Policy 2025 framework and the Invest MP portal. MP Tourism's live policy page still lists both Tourism Policy 2025 and the separate Wellness Centre and Resort policy, so the scheme is still part of the running tourism policy setup as of 03 August 2026.
Capital Investment Subsidy for Establishment of New Resort and Wellness Centre
No separate 2026 order was found changing the main subsidy amount, basic application route, or the one year claim window. Official policy pages that are live now still point investors to the same tourism policy structure and MP Tourism Board system.
Private entities can use this scheme for a new resort and wellness centre in Madhya Pradesh with Ayurvedic, Yoga, Naturopathy, or similar treatment facilities. Investors looking at other tourism support routes can also check capital subsidy for a new deluxe-three star or higher category hotel and resort and investment promotion assistance for large, mega, and ultra mega tourism projects in Madhya Pradesh.
One useful point added from the live wellness policy is this: when the unit is set up outside the planning area of a Nagar Nigam, and no same nature unit is present within 10 km, the subsidy rate can go up to 20% instead of 15%. Ultra mega projects with proposed investment of at least ₹100 crore are handled under the tourism policy's separate ultra mega project route.

How to apply
STEP 1 Go to the Invest MP portal and register as an investor or business entity. Fill in the organisation type, firm name, authorised person details, mobile number, and email ID. After the login details are received, complete the profile before starting the scheme application.
STEP 2 Get the required approvals through the single window system, complete the resort and wellness centre project, and keep proof of commercial start date ready. Current live scheme references say the project should meet the minimum capital expenditure requirement of ₹5 crore before the subsidy claim is filed.
STEP 3 Submit the subsidy claim within 1 year from the date commercial operations begin. Upload the required records, photos, project papers, and cost certificates. After this, Madhya Pradesh Tourism Board checks the papers and processes the claim.
Who can apply
Private investors setting up a new resort and wellness centre in Madhya Pradesh can apply. The project should follow the standards accepted by the state or central government for this kind of tourism and wellness facility.
Current live scheme references say the unit should be a new project with Ayurvedic, Yoga, Naturopathy, or related wellness treatment facilities. The same project should not take capital subsidy or investment promotion help under another category for the same investment.
Official policy text available on the MP Tourism website also shows that a wellness centre or resort can be set up on private land. Government land allotment is also possible under the tourism policy route, and ultra mega projects have a separate handling path.
Benefit details
Main support under this scheme is 15% capital subsidy on eligible fixed capital investment. Current live scheme references place the ceiling at ₹2 crore.
One more point matters after approval. The unit should keep running for at least 3 years from the date subsidy is taken, and a self declaration about continued operation is to be submitted by 15 April every year.
If the unit closes early, recovery rules apply. Current live scheme references say 80% refund can be asked if closure happens within 1 year, 60% within 2 years, and 50% within 3 years.
Documents required
Keep the main business, land, project, and finance papers ready before filing the claim. This helps avoid delay at the checking stage.
- Business identity papers such as authorised signatory proof, firm registration papers, partnership deed, LLP papers, or company incorporation records.
- Land and site records such as khasra details, site map, lease deed, sale deed, or other proof showing lawful possession of the project land.
- Project papers such as detailed project report, approved plans, layout or floor plan, and completion related records for the resort and wellness centre.
- Finance papers such as a Chartered Accountant cost certificate, engineer or valuer certificate, cancelled cheque, and proof of project spending.
- Operational proof such as first bill, first booking, service invoice, or another record that clearly shows the date commercial operations started.
- Identity and support records such as PAN, Aadhaar or voter ID of the authorised person, unit photographs, and any certification asked by the Tourism Department.
