Notification
Jaipur, May 23, 2026
No.: F.6(2)Industries/I/ 2026 :-The Department of Industries and Commerce, Government
of Rajasthan hereby notifies the Scheme for Implementation of Integrated CETPs under
Hybrid Annuity Model (HAM) in RIICO Industrial Areas will come into effect with the date
of its publication in the Gazette.
1. Introduction
India’s industrial expansion has accelerated the growth of manufacturing clusters, driving
economic development while simultaneously increasing the volume and complexity of
wastewater generated by various industrial processes. Managing this wastewater effectively is
critical for safeguarding natural water bodies, meeting regulatory requirements, and ensuring
the long-term sustainability of industrial operations. In this context, Common Effluent
Treatment Plants (CETPs) play a pivotal role by providing a centralized system for the
treatment of effluents generated from multiple industrial units within a cluster.
Rajasthan is a major hub for textile processing industries, with key clusters such as Sanganer’s
hand-block printing, the tie-and-dye centres of Jodhpur and Jaipur, dyeing and printing
industries of Pali, Balotra, Bhilwara and Bikaner’s food and agro-processing units. Wastewater
from these clusters is managed through individual ETPs and cluster-level CETPs. However,
most CETPs lack recycling systems, limiting water reuse, and the majority provide only
secondary-level treatment, with only a few equipped for advanced processes.
Under this scheme, setting up new CETPs with zero liquid discharge under HAM model world
be supported. A corpus fund has been created, which will be equally funded by the Rajasthan
State Industrial Development and Investment Corporation (RIICO) and the Rajasthan State
Pollution Control Board (RSPCB). This fund may be expanded in future years based on need
assessments and consultations with the contributing bodies. The scheme primarily provides
one-time grants for establishing CETPs in RIICOIndustrial Areas.
The scheme integrates the entire process for establishing CETPs in RIICO Industrial areas on
Hybrid Annuity Model (HAM) ensuring zero liquid discharge in the treatment process.This
approach ensures a comprehensive environmental management strategy covering liquid
industrial waste, facilitating improved compliance with environmental norms and fostering
sustainable industrial wastewater management practices. This initiative reflects the state's
commitment for improving infrastructure and environmental safeguards in industrial clusters.

The proposed intervention covers:Old and New RIICO Industrial area do not have CETPs and
requires CETPs to be set up.
2. Implementing Agency
Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) of the beneficiary industries operating in RIICO
industrial areas.
3. Operative Period of the Scheme
The scheme shall come into effect from the date of its notification in the official Gazette and
will remain in force up to March 31, 2029.
4. Funding under the Scheme
4.1Funding Pattern for New CETPs
Under this scheme, funding will be provided for establishment of new CETPs in Rajasthan.
4.2Hybrid Annuity Model (HAM)
HAM is a variation of the DBOT-Annuity model, incorporating a milestone-based payment
mechanism during construction as found in EPC contracts, although this payment covers
only the partial cost of construction. HAM rebalances the financial risks between
government and the Executing Agency. For implementation and subsequently to ensure the
effective O&M of project, Government through RIICO and RSPCB will share the financial
risk by infusing a part of the project cost during the construction period and further part
amount (in form of annuity) during operation and maintenance period post completion of
construction of CETPs.No interest shall be payable on the outstanding capex.
This will involve the government grant to the Executing Agency both during the
construction period as well as grant in equal instalment during the concession period,
spanning over 20 years. Further, SPV shall also be contributing to the Executing agency
both during the construction period as well as during the concession period, spanning over
20 years.
The payments will sufficiently cover the expenses incurred by the Executing Agency. The
Executing Agency will take the responsibility for the project's design, construction,
funding, and operation throughout the concession period. Upon the expiration of the
concession period, the project's ownership will be handed to the SPV.
Highlights of HAM model are as follows:
The Executing Agency for the project is chosen through a bidding procedure that is
both open and competitive.
Life Cycle Cost serves as the single bid parameter.
The Executing Agency is responsible for ensuring that the project is maintained until
the conclusion of the concession period.
The concession period encompasses both the duration of construction and a fixed
period of 20 years for operations.
4.3 Scheme for establishment of Integrated CETPs
For the purpose of availing grant/ assistance under this scheme, the project cost shall be
arrived by considering ₹18 crore per MLD(i.e. 18 crore x capacity of CETP in MLD)
or the cost of project proposed by the SPV, whichever is lower.
