Scheme for Financial Assistance to Integrated Logistics Facilities: Reimbursement of Stamp Duty

**Scheme for Financial Assistance to Integrated Logistics Facilities**

The Industries and Mines Department, Gujarat, operates this umbrella scheme under the Gujarat Integrated Logistics and Logistics Park Policy. It runs from August 2nd, 2021, to August 1st, 2026, and offers financial assistance to private developers who build Logistics Facilities and Logistics Parks complete with the necessary infrastructure and logistic services.

One component of the scheme, "Reimbursement of Stamp Duty," extends financial relief to developers who have paid Stamp Duty while purchasing land for a new unit or project. The intent is to support fresh developments by easing the financial load on eligible projects while they are being set up.

Through this support, the government looks to draw investment into Gujarat's logistics sector by improving the financial viability of large infrastructure projects. Since stamp duty represents a sizeable upfront expense, reimbursing it is meant to speed up the creation of logistics infrastructure that meets global standards — something the state treats as essential to economic growth and industrial competitiveness.
