  • 01 Nov 2024

In October 2024, Rajasthan’s government introduced expanded financial incentives across more sectors under the updated Rajasthan Investment Promotion Scheme (RIPS) 2024, targeting manufacturing, services, and new “sunrise” sectors.

  • RIPS 2024 includes newly identified “sunrise sectors,” such as aero and space, defense, drones, semiconductors, agri-tech, and waste recycling, aiming to diversify investment opportunities.
  • The scheme offers a 25% “sunrise booster” on subsidies for the first three mega and ultra-mega projects in these sectors, enhancing their capital and turnover-linked benefits.
  • New incentives also extend to tourism, IT/ITeS firms, and women-led startups, promoting Rajasthan as an investment-friendly state for these dynamic industries.
  • Manufacturing sectors have been expanded to include areas like construction equipment, pumped hydro storage, electrolyser manufacturing, and metals to attract additional industrial investment.
  • The services thrust sectors now incorporate higher education, knowledge industries, vocational training, and skilling, focusing on sustainable growth and job creation.
  • RIPS 2024 aligns with the ‘Rising Rajasthan’ investment summit, where MoUs worth ₹15 lakh crore have been signed, signaling robust investor confidence.
  • The Rising Rajasthan Global Investment Summit, set for December 9-11 in Jaipur, will spotlight Rajasthan’s growth potential in domestic and global markets.
