Sir, The undersigned is directed to say that subsequent to announcement of a package of fiscal incentives and other concessions for the North East Region namely North East Industrial and Investment Promotion Policy (NEIIPP), 2007, a reference has been received from the State Government of Assam seeking clarification whether units engaged in manufacture of Calcined Petroleum Coke (CPC) and Bitumen Emulsion are eligible for subsidy under NEIIPP 2007 or not. 2. The matter has since been examined in this department and it is clarified that the units engaged in manufacture of CPC and Bitumen Emulsion fall under the negative list of NEIIPP 2007 since raw materials used for manufacture of both CPC and Bitumen Emulsion are by-products of petroleum refineries and hence are not eligible for subsidy under NEIIPP, 2007. Yours faithfully (Arun Kumar) Under Secretary to the Government of India Tel No. : 2306 3096
