UP Development Charges Exemption Scheme — 75% Relief for Logistics Parks — Frequently Asked Questions

It is a subsidy offered by the Government of Uttar Pradesh under the New UP Warehousing & Logistics Policy 2022. A developer who sets up a Logistics Park in the state can have 75% of the development charges on that project exempted, which brings down the upfront cost of building the park.

The exemption covers 75% of the applicable development charges on an approved Logistics Park project. Because the charge itself is calculated project by project, the actual amount saved varies from one project to another — the scheme does not carry a flat, fixed payout.

The scheme is open to developers who are establishing new Logistics Parks within Uttar Pradesh. Two conditions apply: the applicant must comply with all the provisions of the New UP Warehousing & Logistics Policy 2022, and the proposed park must meet the definition and criteria the policy sets out for a Logistics Park.

The park has to be located in Uttar Pradesh, since the scheme is a state policy incentive. The published criteria do not restrict it to particular districts or cities, so the real test is whether the project qualifies as a Logistics Park under the New UP Warehousing & Logistics Policy 2022.

No individual deadline is set for this exemption. Applications are accepted on a rolling basis, which means a developer can apply as long as the New UP Warehousing & Logistics Policy 2022 stays in force.

Neither registration appears in the scheme's stated eligibility criteria. What matters is that you are a developer setting up a Logistics Park in Uttar Pradesh and that the project conforms to the requirements of the 2022 policy.

No. This is a subsidy in the form of an exemption from development charges, not an equity investment, so it does not dilute the developer's ownership or give the state a stake in the Logistics Park.

You prepare a detailed project proposal describing the park's scope, location, investment and operational plan, then file a formal application for the incentives — including this development charge exemption — with the nodal agency designated by the Government of Uttar Pradesh. The submission is scrutinised and verified by the relevant state departments and committees. If it clears that review, the exemption is sanctioned and you are formally notified of the approved benefits.

Applications go through the state's official portal at https://niveshmitra.up.gov.in/. The exemption is not a separate filing — it is claimed as part of the same proposal and incentive application that a Logistics Park submits under the New UP Warehousing & Logistics Policy 2022.

A committee made up of representatives from the concerned government departments, such as Industrial Development, Infrastructure and Logistics, reviews the application. The committee looks at the project's viability, how well it adheres to the policy's objectives and the contribution it would make to the state's logistics ecosystem before a decision is taken.
