About this scheme
Under the New UP Warehousing & Logistics Policy 2022, the Government of Uttar Pradesh offers an exemption on development charges. The incentive applies to the construction of warehousing and logistics infrastructure in the state.
Development charges are reduced by 75% for projects that build storage facilities. These include warehouses for general goods, silos for agricultural produce, and cold chain facilities for perishable items. The exemption lowers a significant cost involved in setting up or expanding such infrastructure.
The measure is intended to draw domestic and international investors into building and operating logistics infrastructure in Uttar Pradesh. Its stated objectives include improving supply chain efficiency, cutting post-harvest losses, and supporting economic growth in the state.
By reducing project costs, the exemption is meant to improve the viability and competitiveness of new warehousing and logistics projects.

How to apply
Under the New UP Warehousing & Logistics Policy 2022, the application process is as follows. A detailed project proposal, together with all requisite documents, has to be filed with the concerned state authority. The submission must establish, without ambiguity, that the proposed storage facility — warehouse, silo or cold chain facility — satisfies the eligibility conditions for the development charges exemption. The project proposal is then examined and compliance with the policy guidelines verified; only thereafter does the competent authority grant the exemption.
How applications are assessed
State authorities review each application against the eligibility conditions laid down in the New UP Warehousing & Logistics Policy 2022. This covers the type of storage facility proposed — warehouse, silo or cold chain — its intended location within Uttar Pradesh, and whether the project satisfies all regulatory requirements. The evaluation committee also checks that the documentation submitted is complete and accurate.
Where a project is verified and found eligible, the exemption is formally approved and applied to it.
