Maharashtra Waives Stamp Duty for Renewable Projects, Revises Land Compensation Interest
Maharashtra's cabinet approved policies to support renewable energy and manage land acquisition costs. It waived stamp duty and reduced transfer fees on internal land transfers between group companies for renewable projects, aiming to accelerate development. Simultaneously, the state revised the interest rate on delayed land acquisition compensation to one percentage point above the RBI's repo rate, lowering payments to landowners to reduce project cost burdens. These measures reflect efforts to balance renewable energy growth with fiscal management.
