Industrial units across sectors that invest in captive renewable energy generation receive financial relief through this exemption. It lowers operating costs for businesses that adopt green energy, helping build an industrial base in Odisha that is both environmentally sound and economically competitive.

Existing and new industrial establishments alike can use it when integrating renewable energy into their operations, in line with the state's economic and environmental goals.

The papers to be enclosed would ordinarily cover particulars of the industrial unit, evidence that the renewable energy captive generating plant has been established, operational clearances, and records establishing the date of commercial operations. For the exact steps, forms and channels through which submissions are to be made, units ought to refer to the full text of the Industrial Policy Resolution 2022. Approaching the concerned state authorities at an early stage is advisable so that compliance is maintained and the claim is processed without delay.
