Quick Answer
RIPS 2024 gives enterprises a 100% electricity duty exemption for seven years on power they generate captively from renewable sources in Rajasthan.
About this subsidy
Under the Rajasthan Investment Promotion Scheme (RIPS) 2024, an enterprise that sets up its own captive renewable energy generation — solar, wind or another renewable source consumed by the unit itself — is exempted from 100% of the electricity duty on that captive generation for a period of 7 years.
The benefit is a duty waiver rather than a cash payout: it removes the state electricity duty otherwise payable on captively generated units, so its rupee value scales with how much of the unit's own consumption is met from its renewable plant. It sits in the scheme's green-incentive block, alongside the consent fee waiver and the environmental project subsidies, and is claimed under the same RIPS 2024 application process through the state's single-window investment portal.

What You Get
Your enterprise pays no electricity duty on power generated captively from renewable sources for seven years — a 100% exemption. Because it is a duty waiver, the saving accrues on every unit of captive renewable power you consume rather than arriving as a lump sum, and it stacks with the other green incentives RIPS 2024 offers such as the consent fee waiver and environmental project support.
