Furnace Duty Reduction <\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

For manufacturing units operating furnaces, electricity is not just a utility \u2014 it is one of the largest recurring costs in production. As a High Tension (HT) consumer, you are already paying 15% electricity duty on your bill as standard.<\/span><\/p>

What many furnace-based units do not check is whether they qualify for a concessional duty rate under the Gujarat Electricity Duty Act \u2014 a reduction that applies for the lifetime of the unit, not just for a limited exemption period.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t

What This Means<\/b><\/span><\/h4>

Under the Gujarat Electricity Duty Act, certain HT consumers operating furnaces are eligible for a <\/span>reduced electricity duty rate of 10% instead of the standard 15%<\/b> \u2014 a 5 percentage point reduction on every electricity bill, applied permanently for as long as the unit is operational.<\/span><\/p>

This is not a general benefit available to all industrial consumers. Eligibility depends specifically on how your power connection is classified and how your furnace operations are structured under the applicable tariff and duty framework.<\/span><\/p>

Where Businesses Miss Out<\/b><\/span><\/h4>

Most furnace-based units focus on managing electricity consumption \u2014 but rarely review their electricity duty structure. If your unit qualifies for the concessional rate but has not applied, you are paying 15% duty when you should be paying 10% \u2014 and that difference compounds with every billing cycle.<\/span><\/p>

No one flags it automatically. The benefit does not apply unless you claim it.<\/span><\/p>

How We Help<\/b><\/span><\/h4>

We conduct a detailed review of your power connection classification, tariff category, and furnace operations to determine whether your unit qualifies for the reduced duty rate.<\/span><\/p>

If it does, we handle the complete process:<\/span><\/p>
