What it pays
50% of the cost of a piggery, poultry, goatery or dairy unit as subsidy, with a bank loan for the rest.
What the document says, word for word
The 2025-26 speech records 1,357 people sanctioned the 50% credit-linked subsidy for rearing pigs (para 6.1). The 2026-27 speech adds fish farmers to CM-ELEVATE from 2026-27 (para 3.2.4) and new CM-ELEVATE schemes for polyhouses, collection centres, cold storages and fish ponds at 50% to 75% (para 3.6.2) — rates for those are not printed item by item, so they are not shown here.
“To boost productivity, the State is scaling up livestock entrepreneurship under CM-Elevate by providing subsidies and credit support across piggery, poultry, goatery and dairy sectors. About 2,000 entrepreneurs have been supported with 50% credit linked subsidy.”How much can I claim?
