HP Green Fuel Reimbursement Scheme

The Government of Himachal Pradesh offers a 'Reimbursement for Use of Green Fuel' scheme under its Industrial Investment Policy 2019. Through this incentive, manufacturing enterprises in the state are encouraged to run their operations, or operate alternative power backup within factory premises, on environmentally friendly energy sources such as gas and solar power.

By reimbursing a portion of the cost, the scheme lowers the financial burden enterprises face when shifting to green energy. This is intended to build a greener industrial ecosystem across Himachal Pradesh.

The scheme assists businesses in cutting their carbon footprint and contributing to environmental conservation, while keeping their operations economically viable. It forms part of the state's wider objectives around sustainable industrial development and energy efficiency.

- Consult Section 13 of the 'Incentives Guide.pdf' for the full application procedure and the list of documents required. - Assemble the financial proofs and invoices covering the expenditure on green fuel (gas/solar power) incurred within the factory premises. - File the application, together with the supporting documents, with the designated authority in line with the Industrial Investment Policy 2019 guidelines. - The application will then be reviewed and approved by the concerned state department in Himachal Pradesh. - Once approved, the reimbursement amount is disbursed to the enterprise.

The concerned state department in Himachal Pradesh examines each application to confirm that the applicant meets the eligibility criteria and that the green fuel costs claimed were genuinely incurred. Selection depends on adherence to the Industrial Investment Policy 2019 and on whether funds remain available for disbursement.
