Normally accounting treatment is dependent on stipulations provided for such business set up.
As I understand two options are available
Option I - to treat as revenue and offer grant received as taxable u/s 28.
Option II- to treat as Captial Grant and deduct subsidy quantifiable every year from respective Fixed Assets. You can reduce value of WDV u/s 32 every year.
you need to see the feasibility and treat the same accordingly in books of accounts by explaining accounting treatment in your financial statements in a consistent manner.
