About Goa State Logistics And Warehousing Incentives Scheme: Subsidy Towards Skill Development
To support the growth of the logistics and warehousing industry within the State, the Government of Goa rolled out “The Goa State Logistics And Warehousing Incentives Scheme, 2025”, which offers financial help to businesses in this sector. Its “Subsidy Towards Skill Development” component pays back 50% of what an entity spends on upgrading skills and training its manpower, up to a ceiling of ₹5,000/- for every person employed in the Entity. The Directorate of Industries, Trade and Commerce (DITC) implements this component, and applications are received through the Goa online single-window system.
