Cross Subsidy Surcharge (CSS) Subsidy Rajasthan

Under the Rajasthan Investment Promotion Scheme (RIPS) 2024, the Government of Rajasthan provides a subsidy on the Cross Subsidy Surcharge (CSS) and Additional Surcharges (AS). Renewable energy (RE) units producing Green Hydrogen, a critical and emerging sector, can claim a 100% subsidy on these power-related surcharges. The measure is intended to lower operating costs for such units.

The subsidy forms part of Rajasthan's Integrated Clean Energy Policy. By covering these surcharges in full, the state seeks to create conditions favourable to sustainable industrial growth and to speed up the uptake of clean energy technologies, while drawing investment into the green hydrogen economy.

For eligible businesses, the relief reduces the financial load attached to power consumption and improves the economic viability of producing green hydrogen within Rajasthan.

Applications for the Cross Subsidy Surcharge and Additional Surcharges Subsidy must be filed through the official procedure set out under the Rajasthan Investment Promotion Scheme (RIPS) 2024. Renewable Energy units intending to apply should begin by going through the full RIPS 2024 policy document, which is hosted on the finance department website of the Government of Rajasthan, so that they grasp the particular provisions and conditions involved. As a rule, this means assembling a comprehensive application supported by documentation that establishes eligibility — for instance, evidence of renewable energy generation, particulars of Green Hydrogen production facilities, and the pertinent power consumption records. Once the application is ready, it has to be filed via the portal or department named in the RIPS 2024 guidelines. After filing, the competent authority examines the application against the policy's criteria. Units that secure approval then receive the subsidy as stated, which brings down their electricity costs across the stipulated 7-year period. Although no specific application URL is given, the official RIPS 2024 framework will set out all the relevant forms and submission portals.
