Our Assessment

The new government commitment to concessional power for industry remains largely at the assurance stage. The Chief Minister has repeatedly stated the government will provide industries uninterrupted, lowest-rate power and that subsidised power will form part of an amended industrial policy, but that policy had not been introduced as of early 2026. The existing electricity-duty exemptions for thrust-sector fruit, vegetable and maize units predate this government and are sector-limited. As no new concessional-power scheme has been delivered, this is recorded as pending. Budget: no new concessional-power allocation identified; existing electricity-duty exemptions continue under the 2019 policy.
