Gujarat Sets Single-Portal Process for GCC Policy Incentives
Gujarat has explained how companies can apply for support under its Global Capability Centre policy.
A Global Capability Centre, or GCC, is a centre that provides services to its parent or group company.
Companies will use one online portal to apply, send in claims and receive incentive payments.
The month when support starts to be calculated depends on which of three listed milestones happens last.
Companies must provide documents about their business, employees, investment and services.
Some building costs, equipment and other fixed assets may qualify, but land costs are excluded.
New centres and expansions have different two-year periods for eligible investment.
Companies must also meet filing deadlines, and officials can ask for more information while checking applications.
Gujarat issued Operational Guidelines 1.0 to implement its Global Capability Centre Policy 2025-30.
