Your electricity bill includes a state electricity duty levied on consumption. Under Gujarat's industrial incentives, an eligible new industrial unit can be exempted from this duty for a period — commonly up to five years from the date of commencing production — directly lowering the effective cost of every unit of power you consume.
For energy-intensive industries — ceramics, chemicals, engineering, textiles with processing — electricity duty exemption is a genuinely material saving that recurs every month for the full exemption period. Unlike one-time subsidies, it improves your operating margin continuously while it lasts.
The exemption must be applied for and sanctioned, and the benefit reflected by the discom in your billing. Getting the application and the supporting documentation right at the start ensures the exemption actually shows up on your bills rather than getting tangled in process. We handle the filing and the follow-up with the authorities.
Electricity duty exemption is one component of the wider incentive package for a new Gujarat unit. We combine it with capital subsidy, interest subsidy and SGST reimbursement so your total benefit — upfront and recurring — is maximised across the life of the project.
