CG Electricity Connection Fee Reimbursement — 50% for New Pharma Units — Frequently Asked Questions

The state returns 50% of the fees you paid to obtain a new electricity connection. Because the payout is a share of your own bill, the rupee figure varies from unit to unit and there is no fixed sum on offer. Only the fee portion counts — security deposits are not reimbursed, so exclude them when you calculate your claim.

Only new pharmaceutical industries. This is not a general power subsidy open to every sector, and it is not meant for units that are already up and running. It is written specifically for pharma units that are newly establishing themselves in the state.

Yes. This is a Chhattisgarh state incentive run by the Department of Industries, Government of Chhattisgarh, and it applies to units setting up within the state. A pharma unit located elsewhere cannot claim it.

Applications run on a rolling basis. As a component of the Chhattisgarh Industrial Development Policy 2024-30, the window remains open across the policy's validity from 2024 to 2030. It is still worth checking the policy document or asking the state industrial department about any specific cut-off date that may apply to a particular claim.

No. This is a subsidy, not an investment. You pay the connection fees first, the state refunds half of them, and it takes no shares or ownership in your unit. The reimbursed amount is also not a borrowing that you have to pay back.

You should be ready with proof that your unit is a new pharmaceutical industry, evidence of the fees you paid for the new electricity connection, and your company incorporation documents. Any additional forms named in the application guidelines issued under the policy will also be required.

Claims are filed with the designated authority under the policy — typically the State Industrial Department or the Department of Commerce and Industry, Chhattisgarh. Begin by reading the Chhattisgarh Industrial Development Policy 2024-30 to understand the terms, then request the application form and submit it with your supporting documents. The state single-window portal at https://swsportal.cgstate.gov.in/login/ is the stated online entry point.

Through an administrative review by the designated department of the Government of Chhattisgarh.
