Understanding the Diesel Generator Set HSN Code

Diesel generator sets are indispensable power solutions for industries, commercial establishments, and even residential areas, especially in regions prone to power outages. For businesses involved in the manufacturing, sale, or maintenance of these vital machines, understanding their Harmonized System Nomenclature (HSN) code and the applicable Goods and Services Tax (GST) rates is crucial for compliance and smooth operations. Let’s illuminate the classification of diesel generator sets.

The HSN Code for Diesel Generator Sets

Diesel generator sets primarily fall under Chapter 85 of the HSN, specifically within the category of “Electrical machinery and equipment and parts thereof; sound recorders and reproducers, television image and sound recorders and reproducers, and parts and accessories of such articles.”

The HSN codes for diesel generator sets are quite precise, categorized by their output capacity:

  • 85021100: This code covers “Electric Generating Sets And Rotary Converters – Generating Sets With Compression-Ignition Internal Combustion Piston Engines (Diesel Or Semi-Diesel Engines): Of An Output Not Exceeding 75 Kva.” This is for smaller capacity diesel generators.
  • 85021200: This code applies to “Electric Generating Sets And Rotary Converters – Generating Sets With Compression-Ignition Internal Combustion Piston Engines (Diesel Or Semi-Diesel Engines): Of An Output Exceeding 75 Kva But Not Exceeding 375 Kva.” This covers medium-sized diesel generators.
  • 850213 (and its sub-codes): This broad category covers “Electric Generating Sets And Rotary Converters – Generating Sets With Compression-Ignition Internal Combustion Piston Engines (Diesel Or Semi-Diesel Engines): Of An Output Exceeding 375 Kva.” Within this, there are further distinctions based on output:
    • 85021310: Of An Output Exceeding 375 Kva But Not Exceeding 1,000 Kva
    • 85021320: Of An Output Exceeding 1,000 Kva But Not Exceeding 1,500 Kva
    • 85021330: Of An Output Exceeding 1,500 Kva But Not Exceeding 2,000 Kva
    • 85021340: Of An Output Exceeding 2,000 Kva But Not Exceeding 5,000 Kva
    • 85021350: Of An Output Exceeding 5,000 Kva But Not Exceeding 10,000 Kva
    • 85021360: Of An Output Exceeding 10,000 Kva

All these specific codes fall under the broader HSN 85021 which identifies “Electric Generating Sets And Rotary Converters – Generating Sets With Compression-Ignition Internal Combustion Piston Engines (Diesel Or Semi-Diesel Engines)”.

Understanding the GST Rate for Diesel Generator Sets

All diesel generator sets, regardless of their output capacity, consistently attract an 18% GST rate. This rate became effective from July 1, 2017, the initial date of GST implementation in India. This uniform rate across various power outputs simplifies the taxation structure for these essential power solutions.
