About this scheme
The New UP Warehousing & Logistics Policy 2022 includes an Electricity Duty Exemption as one of its incentives, aimed at building up and reinforcing logistics infrastructure in Uttar Pradesh. The policy seeks to draw investment and support the expansion of modern warehousing, advanced silos and cold chain facilities throughout the state.
Under this programme, electricity duty is fully waived for a period of ten years, which brings down operating costs considerably for businesses in the sector. This relief over the long term is meant to improve profitability, spur expansion and make Uttar Pradesh a more appealing location for logistics and storage investment.
The scheme backs the state's goal of emerging as a major logistics hub. By encouraging the creation of storage and supply chain solutions, it is expected to drive economic development and generate employment.
