How to Apply for Chhattisgarh Electricity Duty Exemption — 100% Waiver for New Large Enterprises

There is no competitive shortlisting or pitch round here. Assessment is administrative and compliance-driven: the Department of Industries, Government of Chhattisgarh, or an authority it designates, checks each application against the conditions laid down in the Chhattisgarh Industrial Development Policy 2024-30. What matters is whether the facts fit the policy — that the unit is genuinely a new large enterprise, that it falls in the General or Thrust Sector, and that it is correctly placed in its group. There is no subjective scoring.

The route a company typically follows runs like this:

• Registration and application: the enterprise registers with the relevant state industrial department and files its claim for the duty exemption, normally through the state's online portal.
• Document submission: papers such as proof of incorporation, the date of commencement of commercial production, the project report, investment particulars and the General/Thrust Sector and group classification are submitted.
• Verification: the department reviews the application and the supporting documents to confirm eligibility and policy compliance.
• Exemption certificate: once verification is cleared, an order or certificate is issued setting out the enterprise's entitlement to the full duty exemption and the period it covers.
• Continued compliance: the enterprise must keep meeting the terms and conditions of the policy for the entire duration of the exemption.
