UP Warehousing & Logistics Policy 2022 — Stamp Duty Exemption up to 100%

The New UP Warehousing & Logistics Policy 2022 offers businesses building storage capacity in Uttar Pradesh a direct saving on one of the heaviest upfront costs of any land deal: the stamp duty charged when a property is registered. Land acquired for an approved storage project — whether bought outright or held on a long lease — can qualify for a full or partial waiver of that duty.

The incentive is extended by the Government of Uttar Pradesh as a subsidy. It is not a loan and it does not involve any equity investment in the applicant's business.

The intent behind the measure is to draw private capital into the state's logistics backbone. Modern warehouses, silos and cold chain infrastructure keep supply chains moving, cut post-harvest losses and support wider industrial growth, and writing down the cost of acquiring land makes such projects markedly easier to justify on paper. The state also expects the resulting construction and operations activity to generate employment.

Relief is deliberately graded by geography so that investment flows beyond the already-developed belt. Districts that need infrastructure most receive the deepest waiver, while the two most industrialised districts receive a smaller — but still substantial — concession. This zone-based design is what makes the scheme a regional development tool rather than a flat give-away.

• Stamp duty waiver on land for eligible storage projects in Uttar Pradesh, ranging from 50% to 100%
• 100% exemption in Bundelkhand, Poorvanchal and the Taj Trapezium Zone; 75% in Madhyanchal and Paschimanchal (bar Gautambuddha Nagar and Ghaziabad); 50% in those two districts
• Open to warehouses, silos and cold chain facilities
• Land must be purchased or held on lease for at least 10 years
• Rolling intake — no fixed application deadline under the policy
• Run by the Government of Uttar Pradesh under the New UP Warehousing & Logistics Policy 2022

Qualifying for this concession depends on two things — the kind of facility being built and the way the land is held.

• Facility type: the project has to be an eligible storage facility, which the policy defines as a warehouse, a silo or a cold chain facility.
• Land tenure: the land against which the benefit is claimed must either be purchased outright or taken on lease for a minimum of 10 years.
• Location: the site must lie within Uttar Pradesh, because the applicable rate of exemption is decided by the zone in which the land falls.

There is no competitive shortlisting involved — eligibility is a matter of meeting these conditions, and the reward scales with the zone rather than with a ranking against other applicants.

UP Warehousing & Logistics Policy 2022 — Stamp Duty Exemption up to 100% is open to startups at any stage. It is open to startups registered anywhere in India.

UP Warehousing & Logistics Policy 2022 — Stamp Duty Exemption up to 100% accepts applications on a rolling basis — there is no fixed cut-off date, so eligible startups can apply at any time. Because rolling programmes can pause without notice, confirm the window is still open on the official site before you start.

The benefit on offer is a reduction in the stamp duty payable on land registered for an eligible storage project. Because it is a fiscal concession, the money stays with the business: applicants give up nothing in return and retain complete ownership of their venture.

The size of the waiver is decided by where the land sits, with the most generous treatment reserved for less developed parts of the state:

• 100% exemption in Bundelkhand, Poorvanchal region, and the Taj Trapezium Zone.
• 75% exemption in Madhyanchal and Paschimanchal (excluding Gautambuddha Nagar and Ghaziabad).
• 50% exemption in Gautambuddha Nagar and Ghaziabad.

For a project of any size, that is a meaningful cut in capital expenditure at the point of acquiring land, which in turn improves the viability of setting up warehouses, silos and cold chain facilities.

UP Warehousing & Logistics Policy 2022 — Stamp Duty Exemption up to 100% is offered by Government of Uttar Pradesh, a government body. As a government-backed subsidy, it is publicly funded and open to eligible startups across India. You can verify current details and timelines on the provider's official website before applying.

There is no competitive selection here. Approval works as a compliance check: the proposal and the underlying land transaction are examined to confirm that every condition in the New UP Warehousing & Logistics Policy 2022 has been met.

In practice the administrative review looks at:

• the nature of the planned facility, to confirm it is a warehouse, silo or cold chain facility;
• the tenure of the land arrangement, to confirm a purchase or a lease of at least 10 years;
• the geographical location of the site, which fixes the percentage of exemption that applies.

Once these points are verified, the competent authority grants approval. Applicants should be prepared to answer follow-up queries or complete any additional procedural steps the reviewing department asks for.
