Mukhya Mantri Nutan Polyhouse Project

Why it matters

Get up to 85% subsidy to build a polyhouse and grow off-season vegetables and flowers for higher income.

What you get

Under this scheme the Himachal Pradesh Horticulture Department provides up to 85% capital subsidy to farmers for construction of polyhouses (greenhouses) used to grow off-season vegetables, exotic vegetables and flowers. The maximum eligible polyhouse area was expanded from 2,000 sqm to 4,000 sqm per beneficiary to qualify for the highest subsidy slab. The scheme has helped bring over 14 lakh sq. metres of land under polyhouse/shadenet cultivation across districts including Shimla, Sirmour, Solan, Una, Kullu, Hamirpur, Bilaspur, Mandi and Kangra. A companion Mukhya Mantri Greenhouse Renovation Scheme (MMGRS) provides up to 70% subsidy to renovate ageing polyhouses, and at least 50% subsidy to replace damaged poly sheets after five years or after a natural calamity.
