Andhra Pradesh Tourism Policy 2024–29 (APTP) grants industry status to hospitality, 100% stamp duty reimbursement on tourism land, and one of India's longest SGST reimbursement windows — up to 15 years for qualifying projects.
Why coastal AP favours the SGST track
Beach resorts and large hotels with high F&B and room GST liability in Visakhapatnam and coastal circuits often recover more through the SGST reimbursement track than through upfront capital subsidy — model both before registration.
Application sequence
- AP Tourism single-window registration
- Stamp duty and conversion waivers before land purchase
- Tourism NOC and building sanction
- Unit registration certificate
- Annual capital and SGST claims after COD
