Nabaz-e-Punjab Bureau, Chandigarh, August 26:
In a major step to check stubble burning during the paddy season, Punjab has decided to permit certain categories of industries to install paddy straw-fired boilers to claim fiscal incentives. The industries which can get this benefit Include Sugar mills, Pulp and Paper mills, and any industry having boiler installation with a steam generating capacity of more than 25 TPH.

New and existing units of distilleries/breweries proposing the replacement of old boilers or expansion with installation of new boilers will also have to mandatorily use paddy straw as fuel in boilers, it was decided today by the cabinet at a meeting chaired by Chief Minister Captain Amarinder Singh. The Cabinet also decided to provide cumulative fiscal incentives of Rs. 25 crores to the first 50 existing industries on a ‘first come first serve’ basis for using paddy straw as fuel in boilers.
