Haryana to give 50% VAT rebate to industrial units using natural gas

The Haryana government has decided to give a 50 per cent rebate in the Value-Added Tax (VAT) to industrial units that replace diesel generator sets with natural gas. The scheme will be applicable to all industries, including micro-, small and medium-sized enterprises, and effective for two years from the date of its notification.

A decision in this regard was taken at a meeting of the Standing Finance Committee held here on Saturday under the chairmanship of Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar. Deputy Chief Minister Dushyant Chautala was also present in the meeting.

The use of diesel-powered generator sets is banned in the national capital region.
