Great news for farmers who grow fruits, flowers, and vegetables! The state government is launching a new initiative to power cold storage’s with solar energy. This move aims to provide a 50 percent subsidy for constructing solar-powered cold storage under the Horticulture Development Programme. The government has allocated ₹28 crore for this scheme, which will help farmers reduce their energy costs and preserve their produce more efficiently.
Farmers can benefit significantly from this scheme. If you install solar panels and reduce the storage capacity of your cold storage by 25 percent, you can receive a subsidy of up to ₹17.50 lakh. This subsidy is part of the Solar Plate Scheme. Additionally, existing cold storage will also receive financial assistance to install solar panels, which will lower their electricity costs.
Under the National Horticulture Mission, the subsidy covers 50 percent of the costs, with a maximum limit of ₹17.50 lakh on an overall cost of ₹35 lakh.
The state government will provide subsidies for two types of solar cold storage:
