SIPCOT Land Allotment Procedure
The SIPCOT Land Allotment Procedure is official guidance issued by SIPCOT for applicants seeking plots in SIPCOT Industrial Parks. It explains the online application, deposits and processing fee, document checks, Allotment Committee review and communication of the allotment, closure or rejection decision.
What the procedure covers
The SIPCOT Land Allotment Procedure applies to applicants seeking industrial land in SIPCOT Industrial Parks. Applicants must register through the SIPCOT website using the “Apply online for Land allotment” and new user tabs, log in, complete the application, upload the required documents and pay online.

- An initial deposit of Rs.50,000 per acre for SIPCOT Industrial Parks in C districts.
- A non-refundable processing fee of Rs.10,000 plus GST at 18%.
The initial deposit is adjusted against the plot cost. It is refunded if the application is closed.
