About this subsidy
The green incentives block of the Rajasthan Investment Promotion Scheme 2024 gives eligible enterprises a full exemption from electricity duty on captive renewable energy generation for seven years.
For a plant that puts up its own rooftop or ground-mounted solar, or a captive wind arrangement, electricity duty is one of the charges that survives the shift away from grid power. Waiving it entirely for seven years improves the payback on the captive asset rather than on the grid bill.
The exemption is open to Eligible Enterprises across manufacturing, services and the scheme's sunrise focus categories, and is claimed through Rajasthan's single-window investment portal. Benefits under the green incentives category are disbursed over ten years and share a common ceiling with the other items in that category.
