Rajasthan Sunrise Captive Power Waiver Scheme — 100% Power Charge Waiver — Frequently Asked Questions

There is no lump sum and no fixed rupee figure. The value of the scheme is a 100% waiver or reimbursement of the banking, wheeling and transmission charges attached to your captive power plant. In practice those charges either stop being levied, or come back to you as a reimbursement, depending on the policy guidelines in force.

You need to qualify as a Sunrise Enterprise as defined in Section 3.3.1.1 of the Rajasthan Investment Promotion Scheme 2024, and you must be putting up a captive power plant inside Rajasthan. The plant has to serve your own consumption, and the benefit is available for the first three units you establish, within the prescribed size ceiling.

Green Hydrogen is treated as a Sunrise sector, and its captive plants get the higher 250% size ceiling instead of 200%. However, the policy carves Green Hydrogen out of certain benefits — notably the first-three-units clause — so its terms differ from those of other Sunrise sectors.

Two main ones. Every unit of power produced has to be consumed by the enterprise itself, so third-party sales are not permitted and a declaration to that effect is expected with the application. Separately, the plant's size cannot cross a ceiling of 200%, which rises to 250% for Green Hydrogen projects.

The waiver applies for a period that mirrors the disbursal period of whichever Asset Creation Incentive you have opted for under RIPS 2024. The exact duration therefore depends on the terms of that chosen incentive rather than on a separate timeline set by this scheme.

No. The scheme is described as rolling and always open, so you can file your application at any point during the year without missing a cut-off date.

Typically you will provide proof of your enterprise's registration, a detailed project report for the captive power plant, documentation confirming your Sunrise Enterprise status, and a declaration that the power generated will be used only for captive consumption.

Applications are processed through the designated department under the Rajasthan Investment Promotion Scheme 2024 — usually the Industries Department — or through the state's investment portal at rajnivesh.rajasthan.gov.in.

No. There is no pitch, jury or ranking involved. A committee or designated authority within the Government of Rajasthan simply verifies your application against the policy's eligibility parameters and clears it if everything checks out.

No. This is a subsidy delivered as a waiver or reimbursement of charges rather than an investment, so it does not dilute your shareholding.
