Critical Infrastructure Programme DTIC grant

As a CEO or CFO in the industrial sector, you understand that infrastructure project funding is often the missing link between ambitious plans and scalable growth. The Critical Infrastructure Programme (CIP), one of the flagship DTIC grants and incentives, is designed precisely to bridge that gap.

What Is the Critical Infrastructure Programme?

The CIP is a cost-sharing grant specifically aimed at essential infrastructure investments—those absolutely indispensable to unlocking or optimising larger industrial or commercial projects. It reduces your infrastructure development burden by contributing between 10% and 30% of qualifying costs, with grants capped at R50 million. 

Certain sectors may benefit from enhanced support:

• Agro-processing, water/electricity independence projects, and Aerospace & Defence testing facilities may receive between 10% and 50%, up to R50 million.

• Distressed municipalities or state-owned industrial parks may even qualify for 100% grant coverage, capped at R50 million.

These projects range from bulk infrastructure such as roads, water, sanitation, energy generation or connectivity, to site-enablement interventions that make commercial investment viable
