Month after month, it is simply there. What many businesses do not check is whether they qualify for an electricity duty exemption under the Gujarat Electricity Duty Act \u2014 a benefit that can eliminate this duty component entirely for up to 5 years from the date of commercial production. What the Exemption Covers Under the Gujarat Electricity Duty Act, new manufacturing units are eligible for a full exemption on electricity duty for 5 years from the date of commercial production in normal industrial areas, and up to 10 years for units in SEZs. The exemption rate depends on your connection type: HT (High Tension) connection \u2014 15% of your electricity bill is exempted LT (Low Tension) connection \u2014 10% of your electricity bill is exempted DG sets up to 125 KVA \u2014 fully exempt from electricity duty DG sets above 125 KVA \u2014 duty rate of 60 paise per unit generated applies Expansion units also qualify, provided the additional capital investment exceeds 50% of the existing fixed capital investment at the time of expansion. Who This Applies To This benefit is available to: New manufacturing units setting up for the first time in Gujarat Existing units undergoing significant expansion meeting the capital investment threshold One critical condition most businesses miss: the application must be filed within 90 days of commencement of commercial production(for New manufacturing units) to avail the full 5-year benefit. Filing late means losing those initial months permanently. Where Things Usually Get Missed Most units start operations, begin paying electricity bills, and never check whether the exemption applies to them. The planning for this benefit needs to start at the project stage \u2014 not after operations begin. By the time someone thinks to check, months of eligible exemption have already lapsed, and in some cases the 90-day application window has closed entirely. How We Help We assess your unit&#8217;s connection type, DG set capacity, and production start date to determine your eligibility and the correct exemption amount \u2014 then handle the complete process: Eligibility assessment under the Gujarat Electricity Duty Act based on your connection type and production date Documentation preparation and application filing with CEICED within the 90-day window Follow-up until the Electricity Duty Exemption Certificate is issued A Practical Saving For an HT-connected manufacturing unit, a 15% exemption on monthly electricity bills \u2014 sustained over 5 years \u2014 adds up to a substantial reduction in operating costs. For a unit paying \u20b915 lakh per month in electricity, that is \u20b92.25 lakh back every month, or \u20b91.35 crore over the 5-year exemption period. These figures are for illustrative purposes only. Actual savings depend on your connection type, sanctioned load, applicable duty rate, and monthly consumption. The exemption exists. The only thing required to capture it is knowing it applies and filing before the window closes. Frequently asked questions Our factory is in a GIDC estate. Do we still need to apply for EDE or is it automatic? The exemption is not automatic for anyone \u2014 including GIDC units. Every eligible unit must apply through the CEICED portal within 90 days of production start. GIDC location does not give automatic exemption, nor does it disqualify you. We missed the 90-day window by 3 months. Can we still get the benefit for the remaining period? You can still apply, but you will forfeit the duty exemption for those initial months outside the 90-day window. The exemption period clock does not restart \u2014 you get only the remaining time within the 5-year period from your production date. Our expansion increased our load from LT to HT connection. Does a fresh 5-year EDE period start from the expansion date? Yes, provided the expansion meets the capital investment threshold (additional investment exceeding 50% of existing fixed capital). You can apply for a fresh 5-year EDE period from the date of the enhanced or new connection, specific to the expansion. If we close operations temporarily, does the 5-year EDE period keep running? Yes. The 5-year exemption period runs from the date of commercial production regardless of whether operations are continuous or temporarily paused. The only conditions that cause forfeiture are permanently ceasing production or violating scheme conditions. Our DG set is registered but we never applied for EDE on it separately. Can we still claim it? Yes, but only for the remaining eligible period. DG set EDE should ideally be applied simultaneously with the main power connection EDE within the 90-day window. Applying late limits your benefit period.
