Updated: 4 October 2026
Rajasthan does not pay a subsidy on the tractor itself under the Agriculture Department's Krishi Yantra scheme. The scheme page on Raj Kisan Saathi (rajkisan.rajasthan.gov.in) gives rates only for implements such as seed drills, disc ploughs, rotavators, threshers, planters and reapers, and it asks for the RC of a tractor the farmer already owns. The one tractor norm on the portal belongs to the Horticulture Department's mechanisation component: a tractor up to 20 PTO HP with rotavator or equipment, at 25% (up to ₹75,000) for general farmers and 35% (up to ₹1,00,000) for SC, ST, small, marginal and women farmers.
A July 2026 news report also describes the state scheme as implements only. The national SMAM ceilings for tractors are shown further down so the gap is clear. For the national picture see the tractor subsidy overview.
What is and is not subsidised
- Agriculture Department, Krishi Yantra: approved implements at 40% (general) or 50% (SC, ST, small, marginal and women farmers), with a rupee cap that depends on the BHP of the tractor or power unit.
- Horticulture Department, mechanisation: the FAQ lists a tractor up to 20 PTO HP, rotavator, power tillers, and sprayers.
- Custom hiring centres: the Agriculture Department gives up to 80% of project cost for a centre run by a KVSS, GSS or FPO. Apply at the Joint Director Agriculture office of the district. The portal lists centres, and some own tractors that small farmers can hire.
- Dealer sites that quote "up to 40% on a tractor, capped at ₹1,00,000" for Rajasthan are not matched by the portal pages.
Implement rates (Agriculture Department)
| Implement | SC, ST, small, marginal, women | Other farmers |
|---|---|---|
| Seed drill / seed cum fertiliser drill | 50% or ₹15,000 to ₹28,000, whichever is less | 40% or ₹12,000 to ₹22,400, whichever is less |
| Disc plough / disc harrow | 50% or ₹20,000 to ₹50,000 | 40% or ₹16,000 to ₹40,000 |
| Rotavator | 50% or ₹42,000 to ₹50,400 | 40% or ₹34,000 to ₹40,300 |
| Multi crop thresher | 50% or ₹30,000 to ₹1,00,000 | 40% or ₹25,000 to ₹80,000 |
| Ridge furrow planter / multi crop planter / tractor operated reaper | 50% or ₹30,000 to ₹75,000 | 40% or ₹24,000 to ₹60,000 |
| Chisel plough | 50% or ₹10,000 to ₹20,000 | 40% or ₹8,000 to ₹16,000 |
The rupee cap rises with the BHP of the tractor, from below 20 BHP to above 35 BHP, so a bigger tractor allows a higher cap. These rates are on the scheme page as shown in October 2026, which prints no guideline year. All other approved machines follow SMAM norms.
Tractor ceilings: state portal against national SMAM
| Source | Tractor | SC, ST, small, marginal, women | Others |
|---|---|---|---|
| Horticulture FAQ | Up to 20 PTO HP with rotavator or equipment (cost taken as ₹3.00 lakh) | 35% or ₹1,00,000 | 25% or ₹75,000 |
| SMAM 2020-21 | 2WD, 8 to 20 PTO HP | 50%, ₹2.00 lakh | 40%, ₹1.60 lakh |
| SMAM 2020-21 | 4WD, 8 to 20 PTO HP | 50%, ₹2.25 lakh | 40%, ₹1.80 lakh |
| SMAM 2020-21 | 2WD, above 20 to 40 PTO HP | 50%, ₹2.50 lakh | 40%, ₹2.00 lakh |
| SMAM 2020-21 | 4WD, above 20 to 40 PTO HP | 50%, ₹3.00 lakh | 40%, ₹2.40 lakh |
| SMAM 2020-21 | 2WD, above 40 to 70 PTO HP | 50%, ₹4.25 lakh | 40%, ₹3.40 lakh |
| SMAM 2020-21 | 4WD, above 40 to 70 PTO HP | 50%, ₹5.00 lakh | 40%, ₹4.00 lakh |
The SMAM rows are national maximums. Each state decides which machines it funds, and the Rajasthan Krishi Yantra page lists no tractor. Revised SMAM guidelines of December 2025 may change these limits, so do not plan a purchase on the SMAM rows.

If you want a tractor
With no tractor subsidy in the Agriculture scheme, the real routes are a loan, the horticulture norm if your farm qualifies, or hiring from a custom hiring centre. Check tractor prices, the on-road price tool, the EMI calculator, tractor loans and dealers. Implements that do get the subsidy are on the implements page, and the subsidy finder covers other schemes.
