Odisha Electricity Duty Exemption — 5 Years for New MSMEs — Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility

Odisha Electricity Duty Exemption — 5 Years for New MSMEs is open to product · revenue-stage startups registered in India. The startup must hold MSME (Udyam) registration. The full eligibility criteria — qualifying sectors, states and entity types — are below.

Who can apply

The exemption is meant for new enterprises that are operating in Odisha. The details available do not restrict it to particular industries, and no founder-level conditions are laid down.

Two thresholds decide whether a unit qualifies:

  • It must fit the definition of a new enterprise under the Odisha MSME Development Policy 2022.
  • Its plant and machinery investment must stay at or below ₹50 crores.

The five-year benefit is counted from when production commences, so the applicant has to establish that date on record.

Since the incentive forms part of the state's MSME policy framework, enterprises claiming it are expected to hold MSME registration and to follow the policy's guidelines.

Odisha Electricity Duty Exemption — 5 Years for New MSMEs is open to startups at the product and revenue stage. The programme is targeted at startups registered in Odisha. Applicants should be registered as private limited, llp and opc. Applicants must hold MSME (Udyam) registration.
