Assam Government Launches Incentive Scheme to Encourage Production of Orthodox, Specialty Teas The Assam government announced a scheme to encourage the production of orthodox and specialty teas, which are in high demand in international markets and can help planters get better prices. Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma highlighted his government's plans for land reforms on tea estates and enhancing the social security network of workers by gradually taking over the existing health and educational institutions of gardens when launching the Assam Tea Industries Special Incentive Scheme (ATISIS) 2020. “The main goal of this scheme is to strike a balance between CTC tea production and orthodox tea production. In international markets, orthodox tea is in high demand. "Orthodox and specialty teas make up roughly 1 1% of the state's yearly tea production, with the balance being CTC variety. The expense of producing orthodox tea is higher, thus assistance is required. This plan was put in place for this purpose. The state government will grant a 3% interest subvention on working capital loans and a Rs 7 per kg subsidy for the production of orthodox and specialty varieties under the ATISIS. Furthermore, a 25% subsidy would be provided for the acquisition of new machinery for the development of orthodox and specialty teas. The incentive program will cost Rs 300 crore per year and advised tea companies to file for reimbursement as soon as possible so that the first payments may be given by August. Rs 50 crore will be spent on a campaign and publicity for Assam tea in worldwide markets, and suggested that an international brand ambassador be appointed.
