    NHB Subsidy for Mushroom Farming in India (2026 Guide)

    The National Horticulture Board offers 40% credit-linked back-ended capital subsidy (up to ₹50 lakh per project) for commercial mushroom production units. Suited for ₹1 Cr+ projects with sanctioned bank loan.

    What is the NHB subsidy for mushroom farming?

    The National Horticulture Board (NHB) gives 40% credit-linked back-ended capital subsidy (up to ₹50 lakh per project) for commercial mushroom production units in general states, and 50% (up to ₹60 L) in NE/hilly states. The subsidy is released into the term loan account after commissioning — it reduces loan principal rather than paying cash to the promoter.
