About this subsidy
The exemption of stamp duty is a key incentive under the New UP Warehousing & Logistics Policy 2022, designed to attract significant investment in the state's logistics and warehousing sector.

By offering a 100% exemption on stamp duty for land transactions (purchase or lease for a minimum of 10 years), the policy seeks to accelerate the development of modern logistics facilities, enhance connectivity, and create a robust ecosystem for trade and commerce within the state. It plays a vital role in positioning Uttar Pradesh as a logistics hub, supporting economic growth and job creation by incentivizing large-scale industrial and logistical projects. This strategic initiative reflects the government's commitment to fostering an investor-friendly environment and boosting the state's logistical capabilities to support regional and national trade.
