The NHB cold storage scheme provides a credit-linked, back-ended capital subsidy for new, technology-driven cold storages for horticultural produce.
Assistance is available for multi-chamber units (typically above 5,000 MT and up to 10,000 MT) and for controlled-atmosphere (CA) stores that meet NHB / Ministry specifications.
NHB provides 35% of the eligible capital cost in general areas and 50% in NE, hilly and scheduled areas, as a credit-linked, back-ended subsidy, for storage capacity above 5,000 MT up to 10,000 MT (CA stores on the same pattern). Units must be multi-chamber with energy-efficient technology, thermal insulation, humidity control and automation.
