The National Bamboo Mission (NBM) provides capital investment subsidies of 50% to 60% for bamboo charcoal and activated carbon processing units in Nagaland, including Mon district. Artisans and small unit operators can apply through the Nagaland Bamboo Development Agency (NBDA) in Dimapur. The subsidy is credit-linked and back-ended, it is routed through the financing bank and adjusted against the loan once the unit is verified and operational, rather than paid upfront. Under the scheme structure, the beneficiary typically contributes around 10% of the project cost, while the balance is structured as a bank loan against which the subsidy is reserved.

Artisans apply through the state Horticulture Department or Bamboo Development Agency (BDA) in Aizawl. Because the subsidy is credit-linked and back-ended, released only after the completed unit is physically verified, the artisan needs to fund the unit through their own contribution and a bank loan first, with the subsidy then adjusted against the loan.
