NHM · state
We have not yet verified Andhra Pradesh'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.

Research on Andhra Pradesh has started, and it turned up a site that is not quite the one this page needs.
The address that answers is the horticulture department's, but what it hosts is APMIP, the Andhra Pradesh Micro Irrigation Project. That is a real programme with real material — technical notes on fertigation, acid treatment, system maintenance, peak water requirement, a component price list, a process-flow manual and biometric registration guidance — and it is where a micro-irrigation application in this state is made. It is not the National Horticulture Mission, and micro irrigation follows PDMC norms rather than NHM's, which the national guides below explain.
Two doors we would rather have used are shut to us. The horticulture directorate's own domain, horticulture.ap.nic.in, does not resolve for us at all. And the site's MIDH link points at HORTNET, the national Mission application portal, which does not resolve for us either. The department's Government Orders page opens but renders no orders to a fetch: its list is assembled after loading, so there is nothing there to register yet.
So no Andhra Pradesh document is registered below. Not because the state publishes nothing — it plainly publishes a good deal — but because what we can reach is a different scheme, and what would carry the Mission's terms we cannot reach.
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 — the components the Mission supports, the national cost norms and the general rates of assistance. Those are the guides listed below, and every figure in them names the page it came from.
What happens next: reaching the horticulture directorate's own site from a network that can see it, and working the Government Orders page from a browser.

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. Andhra Pradesh 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 35% in general areas and 45% in the North Eastern and Himalayan States, Scheduled Areas and four named Union Territories. Andhra Pradesh is a general area, so 35% is the rate to plan against — though a Scheduled Area within the state may not be.
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 Andhra Pradesh'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...
