About this scheme
The Land Diversion Fee Exemption falls under the Chhattisgarh Industrial Development Policy 2024-30. It offers enterprises a concession on the land diversion fee that must otherwise be paid, lowering the upfront cost of setting up or expanding industrial operations in the state.
The exemption applies to industrial land acquisition and usage, and forms part of the Government of Chhattisgarh's wider effort to simplify regulatory processes for industry.
By reducing this cost, the policy seeks to draw investment into Chhattisgarh, with the stated aims of job creation, economic diversification and industrial development.

How to apply
Applications for this exemption are made under the procedure laid down in the Chhattisgarh Industrial Development Policy 2024-30. For the complete procedure, the forms to be used and the manner of submission for land diversion applications, enterprises must consult the full policy document. In general, an application is to be filed with the district administration or the concerned industrial development authority, accompanied by the requisite papers, including proof of land ownership, the project proposal, incorporation certificates and other compliance documents. The application is thereafter taken up for verification, and where the enterprise is found eligible, the 50% exemption is factored into the computation of the land diversion fee.
Frequently asked questions
What is the Land Diversion Fee Exemption?
Under the Chhattisgarh Industrial Development Policy 2024-30, industrial units receive a 50% waiver on the fee payable for converting agricultural land to industrial use.
Who is eligible to claim this exemption?
In Chhattisgarh, any enterprise putting land to industrial use qualifies for the 50% land diversion fee exemption, whether it is a new industrial unit or an expansion of an existing one.
What is the maximum land area covered by this exemption?
Land used for industrial purposes qualifies for the exemption up to a ceiling of 50 acres. Where an enterprise diverts more than 50 acres, the 50% exemption applies to the first 50 acres only, and standard fees are charged on the balance.
How is the exemption claimed?
Under the Chhattisgarh Industrial Development Policy 2024-30, the exemption is claimed through the standard land diversion application process, following the procedures set out in the official policy document and by the government departments handling land administration.
Does this exemption apply to all types of enterprises?
Yes. The policy applies to enterprises using land for industrial purposes, covering private limited companies, LLPs, partnerships, proprietorships and, in some cases, NGOs engaged in industrial activity, subject to the other conditions laid down in the industrial policy.
Is this a one-time benefit or can it be claimed multiple times?
Whether the benefit can be claimed again depends on the policy guidelines; for a subsequent, distinct industrial land diversion, enterprises should check with the relevant government department, as the benefit is generally a one-time payment for a specific land diversion instance.
