The State has recently declared the new Industrial Policy -2013 to ensure sustained industrial growth through various innovative initiatives so as to further improve the conducive industrial climate in the State and to provide global competitive edge to the industries in the State. The policy envisages grant of fiscal and non-fiscal incentives to the Industrial units with a view to helping the units achieve higher and sustainable economic growth with emphasis on balanced regional development and employment generation through greater Private and Public Investment in industrial sector.

Sir,
I wanted clarification wrt Electric city duty waiver for new project which is expansion of existing unit in Sinnar. Our expansion comes under large scale.
Regards
sir,
I have gone through the gr of package scheme, in this the disbursement of subsidy is given YEARLY CAP FOR THE INCENTIVE – If the unit is eligible for the total quantum of Rs.1000 and the E.C. period is 10 years, then actual incentives disbursed to such unit, shall not exceed Rs.100 (1000/10) in a given year even though the amount of total incentives sanctioned for that year is more than Rs. 100.
How is this EC Period calculated or it is fixed like 10 years as given in table.
Thank you
