RIPS 2024 Captive Renewable Duty Waiver

Under the Rajasthan Investment Promotion Scheme (RIPS) 2024, an enterprise generating its own captive renewable energy — whether solar, wind or another renewable source used by the unit itself — qualifies for a full exemption from electricity duty on that captive generation. The exemption runs for seven years and covers 100% of the duty.

This is a waiver, not a cash disbursement. It cancels the state electricity duty that would otherwise fall due on captively generated units, which means the rupee benefit rises or falls with the share of the unit's own consumption supplied by its renewable plant.

The waiver forms part of the scheme's green-incentive block, which also includes the consent fee waiver and subsidies for environmental projects. Claims are filed through the same RIPS 2024 application process, via the state's single-window investment portal.

1. Enrol your enterprise on the Government of Rajasthan's Rajnivesh single-window portal. 2. Submit the RIPS 2024 application under the green incentive package. 3. Provide documentation establishing the captive renewable energy plant and the date it was commissioned. 4. Furnish electricity duty assessment records covering the captively generated units. 5. Secure the entitlement certificate from the sanctioning authority.

No competitive selection is involved. The sanctioning authority assesses each claim against the eligibility conditions set out in RIPS 2024, and once the captive renewable plant has been verified, it issues an entitlement certificate.
