What it pays
Small and marginal farmers (up to 2 ha) pay 10% of the drip or sprinkler cost — 90% is covered by PMKSY plus the state top-up.
What the document says, word for word
The 90% is the combined total: PMKSY-PDMC’s own 55% for small and marginal farmers plus the state’s top-up of the balance down to the farmer’s 10% share. Farmers above 2 ha are not covered by this top-up. Announced in the 2026-27 Budget Speech of 22 June 2026. We could not find the implementing order or guidelines on the state’s portals yet, so eligibility details and the application process may change — check with your block agriculture office.
