Ukraine government offers 15% compensation for domestic industrial equipment

The Ministry of Economy and Environment of Ukraine approved a list of 309 types of equipment from 17 domestic manufacturers to receive a 15% cost compensation.

This initiative supports the "Made in Ukraine" state policy, which aims to stimulate demand for local machinery and encourage industrial modernization. The ministry says it is implementing the program to help businesses reduce costs while providing local manufacturers with additional orders to expand production capacities.

The approved list includes a wide variety of products such as excavator loaders, semi-trailers, buses, elevators, and industrial furnaces. It also covers specialized machinery like laser metal cutting machines and concrete mixing plants. To qualify for the 15% compensation, the industrial equipment must be manufactured in Ukraine with a localization level exceeding 40%. The government will provide these payments from the state budget.

The ministry plans to continue processing applications from other manufacturers to expand the variety of products eligible for the subsidy. The compensation program has been active since September 2024. The Ukrainian Cabinet of Ministers extended the program's operation until September 30, 2028, through Decree No. 1325. This mechanism is expected to create new jobs and attract investment into the real sector of the economy.
