RIPS 2024 M-Sand Electricity Duty Waiver

Under the Rajasthan Investment Promotion Scheme 2024, M-Sand (manufactured-sand) units receive a complete exemption from electricity duty lasting seven years.

Because crushing and screening plants consume substantial power, electricity duty forms a recurring and material component of an M-Sand unit's cost sheet. Waiving it in full across the first seven years of operation lifts the unit's per-tonne economics from the outset. The benefit operates as a straight exemption rather than a reimbursement, so no upfront cash outlay is required — the duty is simply not levied.

Claims are made under RIPS 2024 via Rajasthan's single-window investment portal. The same route covers the package's other concessions, including stamp duty, conversion charge, employment and tax benefits.

1. File the application for the Rajasthan Investment Promotion Scheme 2024 through the state's single-window portal at rajnivesh.rajasthan.gov.in. 2. Complete registration of the M-Sand unit and secure the entitlement certificate. 3. Present the entitlement to the electricity distribution licensee, so that duty is not charged on the unit's connection. 4. Hold on to the entitlement throughout the seven-year benefit period.
