NHM · state
We have not yet verified Himachal 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 Himachal Pradesh has started, and it found a department that publishes a great deal — almost none of it about what the Mission pays.
The Department of Horticulture's site is substantial and well kept. What it puts in front of a grower is orchard practice: the spray schedule for apple for 2026, dated February 2026 and produced jointly with Dr Y. S. Parmar University of Horticulture and Forestry, separate schedules for stone fruits and for mango and citrus, a training manual, and its own department and farmer apps. It also runs the Market Intervention Scheme, which is Himachal's own price-support mechanism for apple and other fruit, and publishes universal carton notifications — both of which matter to an apple grower's income and neither of which is the Mission.
That is a coherent picture of a state whose horticulture policy is built around one crop, and it is genuinely useful. It is not a statement of cost norms, rates or ceilings, and none was found.
Himachal Pradesh is a Himalayan state, so the Mission reaches a grower here as HMNEH rather than NHM, and under the national guidelines the Government of India contributes 90% of the outlay rather than 60%. That is the split between governments, not a rate of assistance, but it is why a hill state's own scheme papers can differ from a plains state's.
What does apply here meanwhile: the 64 statements we have taken from the MIDH operational guidelines of April 2025 hold across the country — 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 is still missing: any Himachal document setting a rate, a ceiling or an application window under the Mission; and the terms of the Market Intervention Scheme, which is the state's own and worth a page of its own once read.
Written from the state's own pages and documents. Not yet reviewed, and not a statement of what the state pays.

Not NHM, but HMNEH. 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. Himachal Pradesh is a Himalayan state or union territory, so the Mission reaches a grower here as the Horticulture Mission for North East and Himalayan States. The components and the national cost norms are the same document; the coverage and the share a grower pays are not, and nobody here has read the difference yet.
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 Himachal Pradesh 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 Himachal 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...
