One of the most common questions we get at Jai Shri Irrigation is whether government subsidy for polyhouse construction is actually available — and the answer is yes. Several central and state government schemes support protected cultivation infrastructure because it directly improves farmer income and reduces dependence on unpredictable weather.
Central Government Schemes
Under the National Horticulture Mission (NHM) and Mission for Integrated Development of Horticulture (MIDH), farmers can claim subsidy support of up to 50% of the project cost for polyhouse, net house and greenhouse structures, subject to area caps and approved cost norms.
State-Level Subsidy Support
Rajasthan, along with several other states, runs its own horticulture department schemes that supplement central assistance — in some cases pushing total subsidy support even higher for small and marginal farmers. Subsidy percentages, area limits and documentation requirements vary by state, so it’s worth checking with your local horticulture office or an experienced polyhouse manufacturer who has helped other farmers through the process.
What You’ll Typically Need
- Land ownership or lease documents
- Aadhaar and bank account details linked for direct benefit transfer
- A cost estimate or quotation from an approved/empanelled manufacturer
- Application through the state horticulture department portal or local agriculture office
