In today’s time, it has become very important to set up a playhouse because due to the changing climate, the production of crops is not done properly and farmers have to suffer losses. In such a situation, today we are going to tell you about the best grant available on Greenhouse (Greenhouse / Polyhouse Subsidy in India).

Two types of government subsidies for greenhouses in India:

State Government Subsidy Scheme for Polyhouse: The first one that the state governments provide. Like Haryana government provides a 65% subsidy through National Horticulture Mission (NHM). Whereas Punjab government is providing 50% subsidy and Himachal government 80-85% subsidy. In return, the state governments get about 50% subsidy from the central government.

Central Government Subsidy Scheme for Polyhouse: Apart from this, another subsidy is given by the Central Government. In which grant is provided at the rate of 50% on the total project through National Horticulture Board (NHB) as well as all the supporting components required including post-harvest management in this project.

How to Get a State Greenhouse Subsidy:

In addition, each state has its own scheme (NHM) State Horticulture Mission.

In this, a top-up subsidy of 15% – 40% or more can be provided depending on the policy of the state government on the 50% provided by the NHM.

State-wise the total subsidy is between 50% to 90%.

Hence, the input cost is low and affordable for the farmer going for polyhouse cultivation.

Subsidy rates differ in North-Indian states as Haryana and Gujarat provide 65% subsidy, while Uttar Pradesh and Punjab provide 50% subsidy on the total cost.

Himachal Pradesh gives 85% and 70% subsidies for the replacement of playsheets after at least 3-5 years of polyhouse construction or damage due to natural calamities. This scheme was implemented by the Department of Agriculture and Horticulture.

How to Get a Central Government Greenhouse Subsidy:

Agriculture is the largest private-sector contributor to economic activities in the country.

Therefore, polyhouse farming is now being promoted along with horticulture crops by the state government.

Activities like the construction of greenhouses, shade net houses, plastic mulching, and plastic tunnels, anti-bird/hail nets are being promoted under MIDH guidelines.

National Horticulture Board (NHB) and National Horticulture Mission (NHM) provide subsidies to the farmer under MIDH guidelines. The National Horticulture Board (NHB) provides a 50% subsidy on the project cost subject to a ceiling of Rs 112 lakh per beneficiary and the National Horticulture Mission (NHM) which is a mission scheme of the government provides a subsidy of 50% of the project cost.
