Tripura Power Charges Reimbursement

Under the Tripura Industrial Investment Promotion Incentives Scheme, 2022, industrial units in Tripura may claim support towards power charges. This record covers that power-charges incentive (section 4). The applicable rate turns on connected load — above 20 HP as against up to 20 HP — and, within the smaller-load band, on whether the enterprise falls in the Non-Thrust or Thrust Sector.

Where an industrial unit's connected load exceeds 20 HP, power charges are provided at Rs.5.00 per unit, with no upper ceiling. That Rs.5.00 per unit is a rate per unit of electricity; it is not a lump-sum award, nor is it treated here as a total rupee grant. No rupee cap is stated for this above-20 HP band.

Where an industrial unit's connected load is up to 20 HP, the State reimburses 25% of the power charges actually paid, subject to an upper ceiling of Rs.15 lakhs per annum for a Non-Thrust Sector enterprise and Rs.25 lakhs per annum for a Thrust Sector enterprise. In this band, the bill is paid first and a quarter of it claimed back, cut off at those yearly ceilings.

The claimant is the industrial unit in Tripura — not a housing colony or a commercial shop that happens to share a feeder. Keep connected-load documents from the licensee, monthly electricity bills, and payment proof. Thrust versus Non-Thrust changes only the Rs.15 lakhs / Rs.25 lakhs ceiling in the up-to-20 HP band; the above-20 HP band is Rs.5.00 per unit with no upper ceiling in the clause.

Apply through SWAAGAT and the District Industries Centre. TIIPIS 2022 is rolling; this clause carries no deadline. The Department of Industries and Commerce, Government of Tripura verifies load, bills, and sector band before release. This is a subsidy — not equity and not a loan. Because the headline rate is per unit, this record sets no total award floor or ceiling in rupees.

- Verify that the unit qualifies as an industrial unit in Tripura, and record the sanctioned or connected load in HP. The 20 HP threshold determines whether the Rs.5.00-per-unit route or the 25% route applies. - Gather the licensee's proof of connected load, monthly power bills and payment receipts. - Where the load does not exceed 20 HP, also note whether the enterprise falls under Non-Thrust or Thrust category (Rs.15 lakhs against Rs.25 lakhs per year). - Submit the TIIPIS 2022 power-charges claim on SWAAGAT (https://swaagat.tripura.gov.in/) and at the District Industries Centre. - Enclose unit identity documents, proof of location in Tripura, load documents and bills. - Once the Department has verified the load and the charges, support is disbursed as the clause provides — Rs.5.00 per unit with no ceiling above 20 HP, or 25% of charges paid, subject to the yearly ceiling, up to 20 HP.

The District Industries Centre, working with the Department of Industries and Commerce, verifies that the applicant is an industrial unit in Tripura. This involves checking the connected load against the 20 HP threshold and applying the corresponding formula to the bills submitted.

Where the load exceeds 20 HP, the rate is Rs.5.00 per unit, with no upper ceiling. For loads up to 20 HP, the calculation is 25% of power charges actually paid, subject to a cap of Rs.15 lakhs or Rs.25 lakhs per annum depending on the sector. No pitch round is involved. Claims that lack load proof, or that show unpaid-bill gaps within the 25% band, are queried or refused.
