Rajasthan Captive Power Charges Waiver: 100% Relief for Manufacturers — Frequently Asked Questions

There is no fixed sum. The support comes as a 100% waiver or reimbursement of the transmission, wheeling and banking charges your captive power plant incurs, so the value depends on the charges you actually bear — which is why the amount is listed as varying. It is a subsidy, meaning it is non-dilutive and the government takes no equity or stake in your company.

It is open to manufacturing enterprises that are recognised as Regional Anchors or Sectoral Anchors under RIPS 2024, and the captive power plant has to be established by that enterprise. The electricity produced must be captively consumed; selling it to a third party is not permitted.

No. This incentive operates on a rolling, always-open basis rather than against a closing date. It is a standing provision of the RIPS 2024 policy, so eligible enterprises can approach the state when their captive power plant is in place instead of racing a fixed window.

Yes. The plant can be sized up to 200% of your unit's connected load. The exception is a 'behind the meter' Renewable Energy plant, for which there is no ceiling on maximum generation capacity.

It continues for a period corresponding to the disbursal period of the Asset Creation Incentive you have chosen under RIPS 2024, so the relief and that incentive run in parallel. For a 'behind the meter' Renewable Energy plant, the Electricity Duty exemption applies in perpetuity.

Two things. First, no cap on maximum generation capacity. Second, Electricity Duty (ED) exemptions that continue in perpetuity, so long as no power is exported to the grid in off-peak hours.

No. The energy generated by the captive power plant has to be used exclusively for captive consumption, and any third-party sale is disallowed under the incentive.

Full banking is permitted, and there are no restrictions on withdrawing during peak hours. In practice this lets you park surplus generation with the utility and pull it back when you need it most.

You should first read the full RIPS 2024 policy document to confirm the criteria and application guidelines. The paperwork typically includes your company incorporation certificate, a project proposal for the captive power plant, details of the Asset Creation Incentive you are claiming, and the technical specifications of the power plant.

Applications under RIPS 2024 are routed through the state's investment portal at rajnivesh.rajasthan.gov.in and the designated nodal agency. Your submission goes through scrutiny and verification by the authorities, and once approved the waiver or reimbursement is processed as per policy and linked to disbursal of your chosen Asset Creation Incentive.
