About this scheme
The Electricity Duty Exemption scheme falls under the New UP Warehousing & Logistics Policy 2022. Its purpose is to encourage the setting up and expansion of logistics infrastructure considered critical in Uttar Pradesh. Under this incentive, projects that matter to the state's economic development and supply chain efficiency receive considerable relief on running costs.
The Government of Uttar Pradesh grants a full exemption from electricity duty for ten years. This applies to Integrated Container Depots (ICDs), Container Freight Stations (CFSs), and Air Freight Stations (AFSs), and is intended to draw investment into these facilities. For logistics operators, the exemption lowers their financial load, which in turn makes the state a more appealing location for warehousing and logistics investment.
The policy also aims to sharpen Uttar Pradesh's competitiveness as a logistics hub, ease the movement of cargo, and generate jobs in the sector. It sets out to build a supportive environment for logistics businesses, helping them run more efficiently and sustainably.
