About this subsidy
Punjab's Industrial and Business Development Policy 2022 gives new Mega Projects 100% of net SGST for 17 years, with a cap of 200% of Fixed Capital Investment. Over a horizon that long, the binding constraint is usually the FCI cap rather than the clock — a high-turnover plant can exhaust 200% of its capital investment well before year 17, which is why the reimbursement schedule is worth modelling against projected taxable sales when sizing the project.
