What it pays
An extra 25% of the approved cost of drip or sprinkler for farmers who get 55% under Per Drop More Crop — 80% in all.
What the document says, word for word
Under PDMC the 55% rate is for small and marginal farmers, so we show the top-up to them. Funded from a NABARD Micro Irrigation Fund loan: ₹66.8628 crore for the top-up over three years (Council of Ministers decision No. 94/10/2026 of 04.08.2026).
“The Top-Up Subsidy shall be confined to 25% assistance for admissible Drip and Sprinkler Irrigation Systems and shall be admissible to beneficiaries entitled to 55% subsidy under PDMC, subject to an overall subsidy ceiling of 80% of the approved/admissible cost.”How much can I claim?
Your rate 25% of the eligible cost
The top-up is a percentage of the same approved cost the central Per Drop More Crop scheme counts, and it is paid only within the ₹66.86 crore sanctioned. We show the extra 25% only — see the PMKSY Per Drop More Crop entry for the rupee working.
