Gujarat Taluka Category A and Category B List 2026 - Viksit Gujarat Industrial Policy
The Government of Gujarat Industries and Mines Department GR No. IMD/HMR/e-file/9/2026/2211/I dated 8 September 2026 classifies all 268 talukas of Gujarat into Category A (130 talukas, higher incentives) and Category B (138 talukas) for every incentive scheme under Viksit Gujarat Industrial Policy 2026. This replaces the three-tier Category I, II and III list of 2 November 2020 that covered 251 talukas.
Category A carries the higher slab in every scheme: for the Large, Mega and Ultra Mega scheme notified the same day, capital subsidy of 15% against 10% of EFCI for general-sector units, 25% against 15% for thrust-sector Large units, power tariff of ₹2 against ₹1 per unit, and combined ceilings 5 to 10 percentage points higher. Four taluka names occur in two districts with different treatment (Mahuva, Mandvi, Kalol, Mangrol), so the category must always be read against the district.
District-wise Category A and Category B talukas (Annexure-A)
130 talukas in Category A and 138 in Category B across 34 districts. Bracketed names are newly notified talukas shown with their parent taluka, as in the GR.
