Summary

Our editorial summary. It is not the document and does not replace it.

The scheme guidelines section of the National Horticulture Board website. Under the heading "Revised Guidelines for the Schemes of NHB" it links to the MIDH Operational Guidelines of April 2025, which is how the Board itself presents that document: as the current guidelines for its schemes rather than as a proposal.

The same section of the site carries the public circulars list, the registration and login pages for scheme applications, the model detailed project report, and the engineering guidelines for cold chain components.

Applicability

Who and what this document covers.

A web page, not a signed document. It is registered as a source only for what the Board itself publishes as its current scheme guidelines, and for where applications and public circulars are hosted. Nothing about scheme entitlements should be cited to it.

The questions people ask us most

Myth versus rule Does NHM give 50% subsidy? Rates run from 30% to 50% depending on the component, and every one carries a ceiling. Read the answer Start here What a cost norm actually means The upper limit used to calculate subsidy, not the price of your project. The single most misread number in the scheme. Read the answer Protected cultivation Polyhouse subsidy under NHM Area-wise cost norms for both polyhouse types, and the 4,000 square metre ceiling that shapes the project.
