How much subsidy for a cold room and ripening chamber under MIDH and who can apply?

Both a cold room (a small staging cold space, often near the field or pack house) and a ripening chamber (a controlled room to ripen fruits like banana, mango and papaya evenly) are post harvest components under MIDH, with their own cost norms usually fixed per unit of capacity, for example per metric tonne. The subsidy is a percentage of that capacity based cost norm and is generally back ended and credit linked, so a bank loan and proper project report are often expected for the larger units. Eligibility usually covers individual farmers, growers, FPOs, cooperatives and entrepreneurs, but the larger and more capital heavy units lean towards groups and businesses. The key documents are land title or lease, project estimate, bank sanction where a loan is involved, and proof at inspection that the installed capacity matches the sanction. The exact subsidy share, the per tonne cost norm, the minimum and maximum capacity, and who can apply vary by state. Check the current cold room and ripening chamber cost norms and eligibility on your state horticulture portal, and remember the capacity you build must match what is verified, because subsidy is paid on verified capacity.
