NHM · union territory
We have not yet verified Jammu and Kashmir'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 Jammu and Kashmir has started, and this is the state whose page most obviously says something is there that we could not pick up.
The Horticulture Department's site runs a live notice strip, and as retrieved it announced revised MIDH guidelines for 2026-27 released and available to download, online nursery registration open until 31 March 2026, applications invited for high density apple plantation for 2026-27, a beneficiary list published for the Pampore zone under the National Saffron Mission, and district review meetings under the Holistic Agriculture Development Programme. Every one of those headlines is attached to a link that goes nowhere: the anchors are placeholders, so there is no address to fetch, cite or register. A revised guideline for the coming year is exactly the document this page should carry, and it is announced rather than published.
The structure behind it is worth knowing, because Jammu and Kashmir does not run horticulture from one office. There are two divisional directorates, one for Jammu and one for Kashmir, a separate High Density Plantation Mission, and the Holistic Agriculture Development Programme alongside the national Mission. Of those, the Jammu directorate and the HADP site answer; the Kashmir directorate and the plantation mission do not resolve for us at all.
Two things about the money here follow from where this is rather than from anything we found. Jammu and Kashmir is in the Himalayan group, so the Mission reaches a grower as HMNEH, and under the national guidelines the Government of India's share of the outlay is 90% rather than 60%. It is also one of the four Union Territories the NHB circular of 21 August 2026 names for the higher 45% rate of assistance. Neither is a state figure; both change which document you should be reading.
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.
What happens next: getting the 2026-27 revised guidelines the department says it has released. That is one email or one browser visit away, and it would make this one of the best-documented states on the site.
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. Jammu and Kashmir 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 Jammu and Kashmir 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 Jammu and Kashmir'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...
