Maharashtra to waive stamp duty on internal land transfers for renewable energy projects
The Maharashtra government has announced a 25% land-transfer fee discount and full stamp duty exemption for internal land transfers related to renewable energy projects. This policy aims to reduce financial burdens and accelerate the development of green energy infrastructure.
Why it matters
Reducing regulatory and financial barriers is essential for scaling renewable energy capacity to meet climate goals.
Maharashtra Cabinet, chaired by Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, on Tuesday (August 11, 2026) decided to grant a 25% land-transfer fee discount and a full stamp duty exemption on internal land transfers between group/ special purpose vehicle (SPV) companies with the aim of accelerating renewable energy projects in the State.
This means the State Renewable Energy and Energy Storage Policy-2025 to 2035-36 will include a 25% transfer duty exemption as per the provisions of the Maharashtra Family Administration and Agricultural Land Acts. Earlier, a group company or a subsidiary had to deposit a transfer duty of 25% of the market value of the land with the District Collector.
