What the document says, word for word
Announced in the 2026-27 Budget Speech of 22 June 2026. We could not find the implementing order or guidelines yet, so who can apply, the ceiling and the process may change — confirm with the district office before investing.
“The State is already implementing the centrally sponsored Mission for Integrated Development of Horticulture (MIDH), under which subsidies are provided for storage facilities of up to 25 MT capacity. To encourage the establishment of larger multi-purpose storage facilities of up to 100 MT, as well as cold storages and packing centers, I hereby propose budget allocation of ₹100 crore to provide 35% State subsidy.”How much can I claim?
