For growers owning not more than 5.00 ha of rubber; areas planted under the INROAD project are not eligible; replanting must follow removal of the old trees. These rates are for the 2025-26 planting round; later instalments depend on the next natural-rubber scheme being sanctioned after 2025-26, and the 2026-27 round had not been announced when we checked.
