Section 3A authorises capacity based taxation and rules specifying factors and the manner of determining annual production capacity; the challenged notifications and Rules prescribing machine counts, maximum capacities and a mechanistic computation formula fall prima facie within that statutory mandate and are not manifestly ultra vires.

Mandated CCTV for compliance and the prescribed duty rate tied to production factors were held prima facie permissible. Interim relief restraining enforcement was refused, without prejudice to final adjudication.
