About this scheme
The Electricity Duty Exemption (Sunrise) programme falls under the Rajasthan Investment Promotion Scheme (RIPS) 2024, administered by the Government of Rajasthan. It extends a 100% exemption from electricity duty for seven years to newly classified 'Sunrise Enterprises', lowering their electricity-related operating costs. Through this relief, the state intends to create conditions more favourable to industrial growth, investment and job creation.
For businesses setting up or expanding in Rajasthan, the exemption forms a significant part of the available financial support. The savings it generates can be directed back into growth, technology and employment.
The measure also addresses the early-stage cost pressures that new enterprises face, freeing up resources for core operations, innovation and market entry. It signals the state government's intent to advance economic development and industrialisation across sectors by positioning Rajasthan as a destination for fresh ventures and investment.
