The Himachal government will provide a 50% subsidy on agricultural machinery and will relaunch its online subsidy portal on September 22.
The state government of Himachal Pradesh has announced a scheme that will cover half the cost of agricultural equipment for eligible farmers. Under the program, a 50% subsidy will be granted on a range of farm machinery, aiming to boost mechanisation and productivity in the region's agriculture sector.
The subsidy application process will be managed through an online portal that had been temporarily unavailable. The portal is scheduled to become operational again on September 22, allowing farmers to submit their requests and track approvals digitally.
Officials said the initiative is part of broader efforts to modernise farming practices and reduce manual labour. Eligible beneficiaries will need to meet the criteria set by the agriculture department, and further details are expected to be posted on the revived portal.
The reopening of the portal is intended to streamline the disbursement of funds and ensure timely support to the farming community during the upcoming sowing season.
