  • Individuals
  • Farmers / agri entrepreneurs
  • FPOs / companies / SHGs

  • Subsidy comes after project completion

3. PMKSY Cold Chain Scheme (Big Projects)

What it is

Under Pradhan Mantri Kisan Sampada Yojana (PMKSY)

Subsidy

  • 35% to 50% grant
  • Up to ₹10 crore support

Best for

  • Large cold chain businesses
  • Logistics + storage combined

4. Agriculture Infrastructure Fund (AIF)

What it gives

  • Collateral-free loans
  • Interest subsidy support

Best use

👉 Combine this with MIDH subsidy for low investment + funding

📄 Exact Documents Required

Tell your audience clearly (this is where most fail):

  • Aadhaar / PAN
  • Land ownership or lease proof
  • Project report (DPR)
  • Bank loan approval (for NHB/AIF)
  • Electricity connection plan
  • Layout + machinery details

⚠️ Important Reality (Most People Don’t Tell This)

  • Subsidy is not upfront cash
  • It comes after project completion + inspection
  • You still need initial capital or loan

🧠 Smart Strategy (What Actually Works)

If someone is starting small (₹6–10 lakh micro unit):

👉 Start without waiting for subsidy
👉 Then expand and apply for subsidy in Phase 2

Because:

  • Small micro units sometimes don’t fit strict subsidy norms
  • Bigger structured projects get approvals faster
