The Minister said with various maga infra projects such as future city and phrma city being taken up, the state is expected to drive an exponential rise in peak electricity demand, from 15,623 MW in fiscal 2024 to 24,215 MW by fiscal 2030 and 31,809 MW by fiscal 2035.
It is essential that this demand is met with clean, reliable, affordable, and sustainable energy solutions, he further said.
The new policy, among other facilities, proposes reimbursement of Net SGST (state GST), stamp duty, Transmission & Distribution charges, and waivers on Electricity Duty.
According to the policy, these incentives will significantly reduce the cost burden on developers, ensuring financial viability and encouraging large-scale investments.
