THE OPPORTUNITY
Land, sun and a grid that can take it
Bengal's renewable proposition rests on three things: notified land banks in low-agricultural-value districts, transmission capacity already built out toward the western belt, and a state policy that guarantees open access for captive and third-party sale. Biomass and small hydro add a complementary base load in the north, where agricultural residue and river gradients are both abundant.
INCENTIVES & POLICY
Capital investment subsidy
Up to 40% on eligible fixed capital investment, tiered by district category.
State GST reimbursement
Net State GST reimbursed for ten years from commercial production.
Open access charges waiver
Waiver on transmission and wheeling charges for renewable captive projects.
Land bank at concessional lease
Notified low-value land offered on long lease for utility-scale projects.
