Integrated Logistics Facilities Scheme — Stamp Duty Reimbursement, Gujarat

Gujarat's logistics push comes with a package of support measures under the Gujarat Integrated Logistics and Logistics Park Policy, and this is one of its components. The Scheme for Financial Assistance to Integrated Logistics Facilities is administered by the state's Industries and Mines Department, and the benefit covered here is narrow but valuable: the stamp duty a developer shells out while acquiring land for a brand-new project is refunded.

The scheme has been running since August 2, 2021 and stays in force until August 1, 2026. Land is usually the single largest upfront outlay in a logistics park, and stamp duty sits on top of the purchase price as a cost the developer can never recover from operations. By giving that money back, the state removes a chunk of the entry cost that otherwise slows projects down before a single structure comes up.

The target group is private developers putting together integrated logistics facilities and logistics parks — sites that bring together the infrastructure and the logistics services a modern supply chain needs. Support is restricted to new units and new projects, so the reimbursement is tied to fresh development rather than to expansion of something already built.

It is worth noting what this assistance is not. It is a reimbursement, not a loan and not an investment, so a developer keeps full ownership of the project and gives away no shareholding in return.

• Stamp duty paid on land purchase is reimbursed for new logistics facilities and parks
• Run by the Industries and Mines Department, Government of Gujarat, under the state's Integrated Logistics and Logistics Park Policy
• Operative from August 2, 2021 to August 1, 2026
• Reimbursement is released only after all land is purchased and at least 40% of construction is complete
• Apply online via the Investor Facilitation Portal or offline through the Industries Commissionerate
• A non-dilutive subsidy — no equity is taken in the project

• Only new units and new projects qualify. The scheme is not open to existing facilities, and the reimbursement cannot be claimed for land tied to an older development.
• The applicant must be a private developer setting up an integrated logistics facility or logistics park in Gujarat.
• The claim must relate to stamp duty actually paid on the purchase of land required for that project.
• The land purchase has to fall within the scheme's operative window, which runs from August 2, 2021 to August 1, 2026.
• Because the benefit is project-linked, the developer must be able to show that the land has been fully acquired and that construction has moved ahead — see the milestone condition below.

Integrated Logistics Facilities Scheme — Stamp Duty Reimbursement, Gujarat is open to startups at any stage. It is open to startups registered anywhere in India.

The most recent application window for Integrated Logistics Facilities Scheme — Stamp Duty Reimbursement, Gujarat closed on 1 Aug 2026. Many programmes run repeat cohorts, so it is worth checking the official site for the next round.

The financial support is a refund of the stamp duty paid on land bought for the project. There is no fixed headline figure; what a developer receives tracks the stamp duty actually incurred on the land purchase for the eligible unit or project, so the value differs from one proposal to the next.

The relief is real money against a cost that would otherwise be sunk at the very start of a project, which lowers the initial capital a developer has to block before revenues begin.

Payouts are not automatic on purchase alone. The reimbursement is milestone-linked, and the two conditions attached are:

• purchase of all the land required for the project, and
• completion of at least 40% of the project's construction.

Tying the release to these markers keeps the assistance aligned with projects that are genuinely progressing towards operation rather than sitting on paper.

Integrated Logistics Facilities Scheme — Stamp Duty Reimbursement, Gujarat is offered by Industries and Mines Department, Government of Gujarat, a government body. As a government-backed subsidy, it is publicly funded and open to eligible startups across India.

The route to approval runs in two phases.

Registration. The application goes to the Industries Commissionerate, which reviews it and may call for additional details within 15 days. The file is then passed to the General Manager of the District Industries Centre (DIC) for a site visit and an inspection report. On the strength of that report, the Industries Commissionerate may issue a Registration Certificate for the project.

Sanction. Once the Registration Certificate is in hand and the project's layout plan has been approved, the developer submits a fresh application in the prescribed format, supported by a detailed project report and the required documents, to the Industries Commissionerate. The Commissionerate scrutinises the papers and may again ask for missing details within 15 days. The applicant is then required to present the project in person to a Screening Committee chaired by the Industries Commissioner, whose review produces feedback and remarks that the applicant must address.

After those remarks are dealt with, the file moves to the Sanctioning Authority, which grants final approval in line with the scheme guidelines and the committee's recommendations.
