RIPS 2024 Captive RE Duty Exemption

Under the green incentives block of the Rajasthan Investment Promotion Scheme 2024, eligible enterprises receive a complete waiver of electricity duty on captive renewable energy generation, valid for seven years.

Where a plant installs rooftop or ground-mounted solar of its own, or sets up captive wind capacity, electricity duty remains payable even after the business stops drawing grid power. Exempting that duty for the full seven-year period therefore shortens the payback period on the captive asset itself, not on the grid bill.

Manufacturing, services and the scheme's sunrise focus categories can all access the exemption, provided the applicant qualifies as an Eligible Enterprise. Claims are routed through Rajasthan's single-window investment portal.

Disbursement of benefits under the green incentives category takes place over ten years, and these benefits share a common ceiling with the other items falling under that category.

1. File an application through the state single-window portal at rajnivesh.rajasthan.gov.in under the Rajasthan Investment Promotion Scheme 2024. 2. Qualify as an Eligible Enterprise as defined by the scheme. 3. Provide the particulars and approvals relating to the captive renewable generation facility. 4. Secure the entitlement certificate and submit it, so that electricity duty is not charged on captive generation.
