    Mushroom Spawn Lab Cost in India — Setup, Equipment, Subsidy (2026)

    From a ₹12 L micro lab for own-farm use to a ₹2.5 Cr commercial spawn unit — equipment list, contamination-proof layout, MIDH/NHB subsidy stack, and DMR Solan strain sourcing.

    How much does a mushroom spawn lab cost in India?

    A small commercial spawn lab (200–300 kg/day) costs ₹25–35 L turnkey, including autoclave, LAF hood, BOD incubator, grain prep, and cold storage. Micro labs for own-farm use start at ₹12–18 L; medium labs (500 kg–1 ton/day) run ₹50–80 L; large labs (2–5 ton/day) cost ₹1.2–2.5 Cr. Spawn carries 50–70% gross margins, so a well-run 300 kg/day lab pays back in 18–30 months.
