About this scheme
Under the Rajasthan Investment Promotion Scheme (RIPS) 2024, the Government of Rajasthan provides a Land Cost Reimbursement incentive. It applies to enterprises that set up Research & Development (R&D) centres, Global Capability Centres (GCCs), and Test labs in the state.
The incentive covers a substantial share of land acquisition or lease costs. This lowers the upfront capital expenditure for eligible enterprises.
By reducing that cost burden, the scheme seeks to draw investment into advanced technology and knowledge-based sectors and to support job creation. It forms part of the state's wider effort to build an ecosystem for innovation and high-value services.

How to apply
Applications for Land Cost Reimbursement must be filed in accordance with the procedures laid down under the Rajasthan Investment Promotion Scheme 2024. In practice, this means furnishing a comprehensive application form together with the requisite supporting papers: evidence of land purchase or lease agreements, project proposals covering the R&D centre, GCC, or Test lab, and financial statements. The completed application is to be routed to the nominated authority within the Government of Rajasthan, which is ordinarily the Department of Industries or its nodal agency. Applicants must confirm that every document conforms to the formats and stipulations set out in the official policy document. Once received, each application is subjected to detailed scrutiny.
How applications are assessed
Applications are first screened by Government of Rajasthan officials for completeness and basic eligibility. Proposals then undergo detailed assessment to confirm that the planned R&D centre, GCC, or Test lab fits the scheme's objectives, with claimed land purchase or lease costs checked rigorously against supporting legal and financial documents. Site visits or further clarifications may be sought during due diligence.
A competent committee or authority grants final approval and sanctions reimbursement on the basis of the comprehensive evaluation report, in keeping with transparency requirements and the RIPS 2024 guidelines.
