Support for Construction Companies Facing Rising Non-Road Diesel (GNR) Costs
The GNR-BTP aid offsets part of the cost of non-road diesel for construction companies that meet the conditions. Requirements include fewer than 50 employees, annual turnover below €50 million or total assets not exceeding €43 million, operating non-road mobile machinery and an activity in an eligible sub-sector. The aid is €0.20 per litre invoiced, capped at €4,000 per month per company.
The GNR-BTP aid supports the cash flow of small construction and public works companies heavily exposed to the rise in the price of non-road diesel (gazole non routier, GNR). The grant is calculated on the GNR invoices for the month requested: €0.20 per litre, capped at €4,000 per company per month. The scheme has been extended until 31 December 2026; each period has its own application window.

Who can apply
Private-law individuals or legal entities resident for tax purposes in France, carrying out an economic activity in construction and public works, with fewer than 50 employees and annual turnover below €50 million or total assets not exceeding €43 million. The company must operate non-road mobile machinery, belong to an eligible sub-sector and meet the conditions for registration on the national business register at the reference date. Thresholds are assessed at group level where control rules require it.
Eligibility conditions
The company must in particular be active in an eligible construction sub-sector, operate non-road mobile machinery and meet the headcount and financial size thresholds. Registration on the national business register had to be effective by 31 March 2026. The application is calculated on the GNR invoices for the monthly period concerned and remains subject to the €4,000 cap per company per month and the de minimis regime. Check the official list of sub-sectors and the required supporting documents before applying.
What the scheme covers
The aid concerns non-road diesel invoiced for the eligible construction activity. It targets companies heavily dependent on this fuel and using non-road mobile machinery. The calculation is based on the litres invoiced in the month requested; costs or fuel outside the scope should not be included without confirmation in the official guidance.
Amount and funding terms
The grant is calculated on the GNR invoiced for the month requested, at €0.20 per litre, up to €4,000 per company per month. The European de minimis regime applies. The government indicates an extension until 31 December 2026. The amount reimbursed therefore depends on the volume invoiced and on meeting the conditions, not on an automatic flat rate.
How to apply
Applications are made on the dedicated portal of the Agence de services et de paiement (ASP). The company must register and then provide the information and supporting documents requested to establish its eligibility, and the GNR invoices for the period concerned. One application per company (SIREN) is indicated for the crisis schemes described on the government page; check the specific GNR-BTP guidance and the chosen period before submitting.
