Assam DG Set Subsidy 2019

Under Clause 14.2 of the Industrial and Investment Policy of Assam, 2019, a unit that meets the eligibility conditions can claim capital subsidy amounting to 50% of the cost of a generating set. The ceiling on this benefit is Rs 20 lakh.

Only three components fall within the subsidy's scope: the generating set's cost, the taxes levied on it, and its transportation. No other expense is covered.

Eligibility rests on capacity. The DG set's capacity has to match the power sanctioned to the unit by the competent authority. Where the set is oversized, the full cost will not be funded.

1. Enrol the unit in accordance with the Industrial and Investment Policy of Assam, 2019. 2. Verify the approved power load with the competent authority prior to buying the DG set. 3. Buy the generating set and keep the invoice, tax paid receipts and transportation bills. 4. Submit the subsidy claim, along with installation proof, to the Department of Industries & Commerce. 5. Claims pass through the state single-window / EODB Assam mechanism.

The department checks the invoice, the taxes and transport claimed, and the DG set's capacity against the sanctioned load. Once verification is complete, it sanctions 50% of the amount, subject to a ceiling of Rs 20 lakh.
