Quick Answer
New ultra mega projects in Punjab get 100% of net SGST reimbursed for 20 years from commercial production, capped at 200% of FCI.
About this subsidy
Punjab's Industrial and Business Development Policy 2022 gives new Ultra Mega Projects 100% of net SGST for 20 years from the date of commercial production, with a cap of 200% of Fixed Capital Investment. The cap is the same as the mega project tier — only the window is longer — so for a plant with strong taxable turnover the extra years matter mainly if the 200% ceiling has not already been consumed. Model the reimbursement against projected sales before treating year 20 as the operative limit.
