Assam Revises Tea Incentive Scheme to Boost Exports and Auction Centre Role
The Assam government has revised its Assam Tea Industries Special Incentives Scheme (ATISIS), 2020, introducing a Rs 3 per kg export incentive for Single Origin Assam Quality CTC Tea sold through the Guwahati Tea Auction Centre (GTAC). The scheme also raises subsidies for Orthodox and Speciality Tea, includes Matcha Tea, and increases working capital interest subvention. Extended until March 2031, these measures aim to offset higher logistics costs, boost exports, and strengthen GTAC's role in domestic and international tea markets, according to stakeholders.
