About this subsidy
Under the MSME track of the Rajasthan Investment Promotion Scheme 2024 green incentives, an MSME generating renewable energy for its own captive consumption is fully exempted from electricity duty for seven years.
For a small unit that has put up rooftop solar or entered a captive renewable arrangement, electricity duty is one of the charges that does not disappear with the shift off grid power. Waiving it for seven years improves the payback on that investment rather than on the grid bill.
The benefit sits inside the green incentives category, whose MSME benefits share a common ceiling and are disbursed over ten years, and is claimed through Rajasthan's single-window investment portal.
