SUBSIDY BENEFITS:
1. Central Government Support (NHB/NHM under MIDH) Under the NHM scheme within MIDH, eligible farmers can receive up to 50% subsidy on their total polyhouse project cost. This scheme is managed by the local District Horticulture Officer, and applications from Haryana farmers can be submitted through the HodaHaryana portal.
2. Haryana State Government Top-Up Among North-Indian states, Haryana provides up to 65% of subsidy on total project costing, making it one of the better-supported states for polyhouse farming.
So in practical terms the central government gives 50%, and the Haryana state government adds another 15% on top through its State Horticulture Mission (SHM), bringing the total to 65%.
in a summarised manner we can understand it as:
General Category: 50% subsidy on the project cost.
Scheduled Caste (SC) Category: Up to 85-90% assistance for landowners.
Leased Land (SC Category): 65% assistance.
