How to apply for hotel subsidy in Nagpur
The MTP 2024 application sequence applies across Maharashtra. For Nagpur projects, local planning authority rules apply at building sanction — but the Directorate of Tourism workflow is identical:
- Step 1
Contact Us & Eligibility Review
Contact Hotel Subsidy Solutions. We assess your hotel project, zone classification, and MTP 2024 eligibility — then manage the full application sequence on your behalf.
- Step 2
Stamp Duty NOC (prior to land purchase)
Obtain stamp duty NOC from the Directorate of Tourism before you purchase or register land. Exemption is 50% (Zone A), 75% (Zone B), or 100% (Zone C & STZ). This comes before the DoT NOC for FSI — never buy land without the stamp duty NOC in place.
- Step 3
Land purchase or lease
With the stamp duty NOC in place, complete your land purchase, lease, or registration. The exemption applies to sale deeds, lease deeds, and mortgage instruments executed during the policy period.
- Step 4
Directorate of Tourism NOC (for FSI)
After land is secured, obtain the DoT NOC for tourism FSI. Planning authorities will not grant building sanction without this NOC.
- Step 5
Building Sanction & Tourism FSI
Submit development proposal to the local planning authority with the DoT NOC. Building sanction includes additional tourism FSI per road width and applicable premium concessions.
- Step 6
Provisional Registration (PRC)
PRC from the Directorate of Tourism is issued after building sanction is granted. We file via the MAITRI portal with sanctioned plans, DPR, and land documents to lock in MTP 2024 benefits.
- Step 7
Commercial Operations & Incentive Claims
After COD, obtain Final Registration Certificate from DoT. File annual claims for capital subsidy, SGST reimbursement, electricity duty exemption, and interest subvention.
FSI rules in Nagpur
Nagpur is in the zero-premium FSI region alongside Vidarbha and Marathwada. Additional tourism FSI incurs no premium charge. Maximum FSI by road width: 12m → 3.0, 18m → 3.5, 24m+ → 4.0.
Investment context
Nagpur uniquely combines Zone B incentive rates (75%) with zero-premium FSI — a combination no other major city offers. On a ₹30 Cr project, zero FSI premium alone can save ₹1–2 Cr vs Pune or Mumbai.
Key highlights for hotel developers
- Zero premium on additional tourism FSI (Vidarbha benefit)
- 75% stamp duty exemption & 75% SGST for 7 years
- Lowest land costs among major Zone B cities
- Government administrative capital — stable business travel demand
