Overview
The Land Use Conversion Charge Waiver is a subsidy concession from the Government of Uttar Pradesh, created as part of the New UP Warehousing & Logistics Policy 2022. A developer building an eligible Truckers Park in the state pays only a small share of the usual conversion charges, because three-quarters of that liability is waived.
The charge in question is normally payable when land is reclassified for a new purpose. On a large logistics project it lands before construction even starts, which makes it a genuine entry barrier. By absorbing most of it, the state lowers the upfront capital a developer has to arrange and shortens the distance between buying land and executing the project.
The concession sits inside a broader state push to expand modern warehousing and logistics capacity, improve connectivity, bring down transportation costs and create employment. It is available on a rolling basis, and its value is not a fixed sum: it scales with whatever conversion charges apply to the project's land area and its location within Uttar Pradesh.

Who can apply

The policy document is the deciding authority here — Section 9.6.2, Sl 2 lays down the criteria a park has to meet. Because the benefit attaches to the land being converted for the project, it is the project itself that gets assessed, and it must fall within the definition the policy provides for eligible Truckers Parks.

Frequently asked questions
What is the UP Land Use Conversion Charge Waiver?
It is a concession introduced under the New UP Warehousing & Logistics Policy 2022 by the Government of Uttar Pradesh. A developer who is building an eligible Truckers Park in the state is relieved of 75% of the land use conversion charges that would otherwise be payable.
How much money does this concession actually give?
It is not a cash grant or a loan. The benefit is a 75% waiver on land use conversion charges, and the policy sets a percentage rather than a maximum rupee figure. Your real saving therefore depends on the total conversion charges applicable to your project, which vary with land area and with where in Uttar Pradesh the site is located.
Who is eligible to claim the waiver?
Developers of eligible Truckers Parks, as defined by the New UP Warehousing & Logistics Policy 2022, are the intended beneficiaries. The applicant must be setting up such a park within Uttar Pradesh, and the park has to meet the eligibility criteria and documentation requirements laid down in the policy.
What counts as an "eligible Truckers Park"?
An eligible Truckers Park is a facility that meets the specific criteria described in the New UP Warehousing & Logistics Policy 2022, designed to serve logistics and transportation operations for commercial vehicles. The policy sets out the definition covering scale, amenities and operational guidelines, and Section 9.6.2, Sl 2 is the provision a developer should read before applying.
Is there a last date to apply?
No closing date is specified. The concession is described as rolling and always open, so a developer can initiate the process as and when the project is ready. Because processing involves verification by state authorities, it is sensible to allow time for that before you need the waiver applied.
Does the programme take equity in my project?
No. This is a subsidy-type concession offered by the state government, and it is non-dilutive — you are not giving away any stake or ownership in return for it. The state simply forgoes a portion of the conversion charges it would otherwise collect.
What documents do I need to prepare?
The application typically requires land ownership proofs, a project proposal, detailed site plans, financial projections, and compliance certificates covering environmental and other regulatory clearances. You should also be able to demonstrate that your project fits the policy's definition of an eligible Truckers Park.
How and where do I apply?
Start by reading the New UP Warehousing & Logistics Policy 2022, and in particular Section 9.6.2, Sl 2, for the eligibility criteria and documentation requirements. Compile the required papers and submit the complete application to the department or authority designated by the Government of Uttar Pradesh to implement the policy. The application link listed for this concession points to the state's Nivesh Mitra portal at https://niveshmitra.up.gov.in/.
What happens after I submit the application?
State authorities will verify the submission to confirm eligibility and check that the project complies with all policy stipulations. This can involve site visits and a close examination of your project plans. Once the application is approved, the 75% waiver is applied and your financial liability for converting the land drops accordingly, which helps the project move ahead faster.
Can a project located outside Uttar Pradesh claim this?
No. The concession is offered by the Government of Uttar Pradesh under a state policy and applies to eligible Truckers Parks being developed within the state. The conversion charges being waived are state-level charges tied to land in Uttar Pradesh.
Where can I read the full policy document?
The "Uttar Pradesh Warehousing & Logistics Policy 2022" is published on the Invest UP website, and a direct link to it is referenced in the programme details. The document is the authoritative source for the definition of an eligible Truckers Park and for all the incentives available under the policy.
Does the waiver cover warehousing projects that are not Truckers Parks?
This particular concession is described as applying to developers of eligible Truckers Parks. The policy as a whole addresses warehousing and logistics infrastructure, but the 75% land use conversion waiver should be claimed for a Truckers Park project that satisfies the definition given in the policy.
