NHM · union territory
We have not yet verified Andaman and Nicobar Islands's own NHM documents. The national framework still applies here, and it is below — with the state's own door, and a way to ask us to read the rest.

Nothing here confirms how Andaman and Nicobar Islands adds to or varies the national norms.

Read the conditions on each guide and confirm with the implementing department before you plan on it.
Research on the Andaman and Nicobar Islands has started and has not reached a department. The addresses tried for the islands' agriculture administration do not resolve for us, so no department is linked beside this: recording a general portal as a horticulture department would make this page look researched when it is not.
One national rule lands here by name. The Andaman and Nicobar Islands are one of the four union territories the National Horticulture Board's circular of 21 August 2026 names for the higher 45% rate of assistance rather than the 35% general rate. That is an NHB rule from a document this platform holds, not an islands figure.
Horticulture here is coconut, arecanut and spices on islands with their own logistics, and the national guidelines route coconut through the Coconut Development Board rather than through the Mission's general components. A grower here may well be dealing with that board.
What does apply here meanwhile: NHM is a national scheme, and the 64 statements we have taken from the MIDH operational guidelines of April 2025 hold in every state and union territory outside the North Eastern and Himalayan region. Those are the guides listed below, and every figure in them names the page it came from.
What happens next: finding an address for the islands' agriculture department that answers. If you know one, tell us.
Written from the state's own pages and documents. Not yet reviewed, and not a statement of what the state pays.
We have not found an address for the islands' agriculture administration that answers, so this is one of two places on the site with no department linked. Two things are still solid: the Boa...
NHM. The MIDH operational guidelines of April 2025 say the National Horticulture Mission covers all States and Union Territories except those in the North Eastern and Himalayan region, and all districts in the States it applies to. Andaman and Nicobar Islands is outside that region, so NHM is the sub-scheme an application here sits under, and the national cost norms in the guides below are the ones to work from.
On the NHB side, the Board's circular of 21 August 2026 sets its rate of assistance at 45% for the North Eastern and Himalayan States, Scheduled Areas and four named Union Territories@if($isSpecUt), of which Andaman and Nicobar Islands is one@endif. A project here is in that higher band rather than the 35% general rate.
The rules quoted here are the national ones. Which states sit inside the North Eastern and Himalayan region is our reading of them rather than a list either document prints, so treat it as our wording and confirm anything you are about to spend money on.
NHM is a national scheme run by the state. These guides explain the national rules; they do not confirm Andaman and Nicobar Islands's windows, budgets or variations.
Everyone quotes 50%. Worked at the 4,000 square metre limit against the April 2025 cost norms, the same rule returns about 50% on a net house, 35% on a naturally ventilated polyhouse and 16%...
We compared four state horticulture pages against the national guidelines. In every case the state's figures came from the April 2014 edition, replaced in April 2025. Treat a state figure as...
A large nursery of 1 to 2 hectares carries a cost norm up to ₹30 lakh per hectare at 40% for the private sector; a small nursery of 0.4 to 1 hectare carries ₹20 lakh per hectare at 50%. Both...
INM and IPM carry a cost norm of ₹5,000 per hectare at 30%, up to 2 hectares per beneficiary. That 30% is the lowest rate in the scheme. Organic farming has no NHM figure at all; the guideli...
Most machinery under NHM defers to SMAM norms rather than carrying its own figure. The clearest exception is a power tiller up to 8 BHP, costed at ₹1.0 lakh per unit with a maximum of ₹0.40...
