Seven benefits, one estimate
The calculator combines the three VGIP 2026 subsidies — capital, interest and power tariff — with EPF reimbursement, electricity duty exemption and the customs routes for imported machinery and inputs, EPCG and MOOWR.
How the estimate works
It reads your taluka category, enterprise size and sector, applies the matching rate table from the VGIP 2026 GRs, and keeps capital, interest and power tariff subsidy within the yearly and combined ceilings. Blank fields get a stated assumption, never a hidden one.
- Taluka category. Under GR IMD/HMR/e-file/9/2026/2211/I of 8 September 2026, 130 talukas are Category A and 138 are Category B. Category A carries the higher rates.
- Enterprise size. Micro up to ₹2.5 crore of plant and machinery, small up to ₹25 crore and medium up to ₹125 crore, counting all your units in India; above that, Large. Mega and Ultra Mega need a thrust sector, ₹1,000 crore or ₹10,000 crore of investment, and 250 or 3,000 direct jobs.
- Eligible investment. Plant and machinery plus buildings and civil works. Land, working capital, second-hand machinery and pre-operative costs do not count.
- Ceilings. Capital, interest and power tariff subsidy together stay within a combined ceiling of 15% to 50% of EFCI, depending on size, sector and category, inside yearly ceilings and, for large projects, an absolute yearly cap. The calculator pays the capital subsidy first and fits the other two into the room left.
- Outside the ceiling. EPF reimbursement, electricity duty exemption and customs benefits are added separately, each over its own period.
- Totals. Undiscounted and before tax. Customs figures count basic customs duty and surcharge only; IGST saved or deferred is shown as a cash-flow gain because it is normally recovered as input tax credit.
Subsidy calculator: questions we get asked
How accurate is this Gujarat subsidy calculator?
It uses the rates, caps and ceilings in the VGIP 2026 scheme GRs of 8 and 25 September 2026, the taluka classification GR of 8 September 2026, the Gujarat Electricity Duty Act, 1958 and the customs rules for EPCG and MOOWR. The final amount depends on the eligible fixed capital investment the department verifies and on your actual loan, power use and hiring, so treat the result as a planning estimate, not a sanction.
How is my taluka category decided?
By the taluka classification GR of 8 September 2026, which places 130 talukas in Category A and 138 in Category B. Pick your taluka and the calculator applies its category. If a project spans more than one taluka, the taluka with the largest share of the project land decides.
Can I claim capital, interest and power tariff subsidy together?
Yes. Under VGIP 2026 a unit can take any one of the three or any combination, but together they cannot exceed the combined ceiling for its category — for example 45% of EFCI for a general-sector MSME in Category A — and each year is limited by an annual ceiling with no carry-forward.
Is electricity duty exemption part of VGIP 2026?
Both VGIP 2026 scheme GRs say eligible units get exemption from electricity duty as applicable under the Gujarat Electricity Duty Act, 1958. It is claimed separately and sits outside the combined ceiling, so the calculator adds it on top.
Does the estimate include central government schemes?
It includes the customs benefits decided when you import — EPCG or MOOWR for machinery and duty-free inputs for exports — and lists other central schemes that may fit your sector. State and central incentives together cannot exceed your eligible fixed capital investment.
What changes for an expansion project?
An expansion must add at least 50% to the existing gross fixed capital investment excluding land, with at least 60% of the new investment in plant and machinery, raise capacity by 50% and follow at least 75% utilisation in one of the previous three years. Only the extra power consumption on a sub-meter earns power tariff subsidy and EPF covers only the additional employees. For electricity duty, the new plant and machinery must be at least half of the existing plant and machinery gross block.
Which fields can I leave blank?
Everything except the taluka and the investment is optional. Leave the loan, interest rate or tenure blank and the calculator assumes a term loan of 70% of EFCI at 9.5% over 7 years; leave electricity blank and power tariff subsidy and electricity duty wait until you add a bill or units. Every assumption is listed under the result.
Do Mega and Ultra Mega projects get a different package?
Yes. Mega (from ₹1,000 crore of investment and 250 direct jobs) and Ultra Mega (from ₹10,000 crore and 3,000 direct jobs) are for thrust and selected thrust sectors, with periods of 10 to 12 years, absolute yearly caps of ₹750 crore and ₹1,250 crore, and the option of a customised package from the High Powered Committee.
