What it pays
40% of Rs 1.25 lakh per hectare for a new mango, guava, citrus or similar orchard, up to 2 hectares.
What the document says, word for word
Rs 1.25 lakh/ha is the upper limit of cost for working out the subsidy (Annexure V, "* Cost norms means upper limit of cost"); if you spend less, the subsidy is on what you spend. High-density and apple orchards have higher norms not shown here. Drip is funded separately under PDMC norms. Scheduled areas and vibrant villages also get the higher rate, but they are notified areas inside a state, so we cannot apply them from your state alone — ask your district horticulture office. Ladakh is not given the higher rate here: the HMNEH coverage list predates Ladakh becoming a separate UT in 2019, so we take the lower reading.
