Frequently Asked Questions
What charges are covered under this scheme?
The scheme covers 100% of Banking, Wheeling, and Transmission charges for eligible captive power plants set up by Sunrise Enterprises in Rajasthan. These charges are either waived off or reimbursed.
Which enterprises are eligible for this incentive?
This incentive is available to 'Sunrise Enterprises' as defined in Section 3.3.1.1 of the Rajasthan Investment Promotion Scheme 2024. It is for those setting up captive power plants, with the condition that the energy generated is used exclusively for captive consumption and no third-party sales are made. Green Hydrogen projects have a slightly different ceiling but are generally included as a Sunrise sector.
Is there a limit to how many units can claim this benefit?
Yes, the benefit is applicable for the first 3 units established by each eligible enterprise within the Sunrise sectors, with the specific exclusion of Green Hydrogen from this 'first 3 units' clause, though Green Hydrogen itself is a Sunrise sector with its own terms.
What are the restrictions on the captive power plant?
The scheme mandates that the energy generated must be used solely for the enterprise's own consumption, prohibiting third-party sales. Additionally, there is a ceiling on the size of the captive power plant, set at 200% (or 250% for Green Hydrogen projects) relative to the enterprise's connected load or consumption.
How long does the waiver/reimbursement period last?
The period for which the Banking, Wheeling and Transmission charges are waived off or reimbursed will correspond to the disbursal period of the Asset Creation Incentive chosen by the enterprise under the broader Rajasthan Investment Promotion Scheme 2024. The exact duration will depend on the terms of that specific incentive.
How do I apply for this waiver/reimbursement?
Applications for this incentive are typically processed through the designated department under the Rajasthan Investment Promotion Scheme 2024, likely the State's Industries Department or a single-window clearance portal. Enterprises would need to submit a formal application along with documentation proving their status as a Sunrise Enterprise, details of the captive power plant setup, and consumption records.
