Rs 100 cr Start-up Manipur Fund with zero-interest loans up to Rs 25 lakh

Reviewed 29 September 2026. Startup support has current implementation evidence: PIB reported a CMESS entrepreneurship programme at NIELIT Imphal on 3 August, and the official Startup Manipur portal published beneficiary-appraisal notices in September. PIB describes CMESS assistance up to Rs 10 lakh, comprising 30% state subsidy, 65% bank loan and 5% beneficiary contribution. This confirms active support, but is not proof of the manifesto's specific Rs 100 crore fund offering zero-interest loans up to Rs 25 lakh. Retained as partial, with medium confidence in the documented implementation and its limitations. Training and appraisal are not treated as proof of loan disbursement.
