AP MIDH Guidelines (Mushroom)
Published as “Andhra Pradesh MIDH Implementation Guidelines 2025, Mushroom Cultivation”, Department of Horticulture, Government of Andhra Pradesh.
AP MIDH Guidelines (Mushroom) is Andhra Pradesh’s own scheme, administered by Department of Horticulture, Government of Andhra Pradesh. It is verified against a primary document, with 4 rules for mushroom cultivation below.
The most this pays for one item
₹12.00 lakh
The mushroom growing/production unit itself.
Printed in the document as “Production Unit”.
Private applicant, general area, 40%. That percentage is taken of ₹30.00 lakh, the cost this scheme assumes the item takes to build (it calls that a cost norm), not of whatever your own quotation says.

The biggest of the 4 items this document prices, not the total of them. Whether you can claim more than one, and alongside which other scheme, is answered further down.
What it pays for
Everything this document will put money towards on a mushroom project, in the order it lists them. Each figure names the document behind it; open one to read the clause itself.
Production Unit
The mushroom growing/production unit itself.
The scheme assumes this item costs ₹30.00 lakh to build, and pays a share of that, not of your own quotation. It calls that figure a cost norm.

Table row, p.50, verbatim: "Production Unit | Rs. 30.00 lakh/unit | 100% of the cost to public sector and 40% of cost for private sector, for meeting the expenditure on infrastructure, as credit linked back ended subsidy." Identical cost norm and rate to midh-2025-production-unit, see the stacking entry below on why this is the same underlying central scheme, not an additive state benefit.
Spawn making unit
The spawn laboratory.
The scheme assumes this item costs ₹20.00 lakh to build, and pays a share of that, not of your own quotation. It calls that figure a cost norm.

Table row, p.50, verbatim: "Low Cost/ Small Scale mushroom production unit | Rs.2.00 Lakh/unit for a structure of size of 200 sqft | Assistance @ 50% per unit for meeting expenditure on infrastructure and inputs subject to a maximum of 5 units per beneficiary.Read the rest of this note
Table row, p.50, verbatim: "Low Cost/ Small Scale mushroom production unit | Rs.2.00 Lakh/unit for a structure of size of 200 sqft | Assistance @ 50% per unit for meeting expenditure on infrastructure and inputs subject to a maximum of 5 units per beneficiary. Availing bank loan is Exempted." Unlike midh-2025's equivalent row (whose source document is silent on credit-linkage for this row and is recorded there as unconfirmed), THIS document directly answers the question for Andhra Pradesh: this row is explicitly NOT credit linked. The scheme-level creditLinked:true flag above reflects the other three rows only, commercially load-bearing, because the engine's creditLinked check today is scheme-level, not per-rule (this site's own calculator), so a self-funded AP applicant is currently blocked from this scheme even though this specific row does not require a loan.
Who can claim it
This scheme prices a rate for general applicants and public sector units.
The conditions
- Does this need a bank loan? (credit linked)
- Yes. The subsidy rides on a bank loan: a bank sanctions the loan and the subsidy is adjusted against it.
- When does the money arrive? (back ended)
- After you build, and after an inspection. The subsidy is held in a reserve account and released once the project has been inspected and found complete, not paid up front.
- Must it be approved before you start work? (sanction before commencement)
- We searched this document for a clause requiring sanction before you start work and did not find one. That is not the same as there being no such rule: it may sit in a document we have not read. Confirm with your sanctioning department and your bank before committing spend. Read why we will not resolve this either way.
Claiming this alongside another scheme
Checked against every other scheme this atlas holds. For most pairs no document says anything either way, and this page says so rather than guessing.
Read against 43 other schemes: 1 excluded, 42 unconfirmed.
Excluded
MIDH Excluded alongside MIDH.
This document's own cover names it as implementing "MISSION FOR INTEGRATED DEVELOPMENT OF HORTICULTURE (MIDH)", not a separate, state-invented scheme, and every cost norm and pattern-of-assistance…Read the rest of the reasoning
This document's own cover names it as implementing "MISSION FOR INTEGRATED DEVELOPMENT OF HORTICULTURE (MIDH)", not a separate, state-invented scheme, and every cost norm and pattern-of-assistance percentage in its Mushroom Cultivation chapter is identical to the central MIDH Operational Guidelines' Annexure V, item III (Production Unit ₹30 lakh/unit at 100%/40%; Spawn making unit ₹20 lakh/unit at 100%/40%; Compost making Unit ₹30 lakh/unit at 100%/40%; Low Cost/Small Scale unit ₹2 lakh/unit at 50%, max 5/beneficiary, see MIDH's own record on this site). This is Andhra Pradesh's own implementation guideline FOR the central scheme, administered through this state's DPR/APMIP process, an AP mushroom applicant draws one subsidy under MIDH, not two. Marked 'excluded' rather than 'stackable' so a farmer is never shown this record's rules and midh-2025's as two independent, additive sums for the same component.
Unconfirmed
For most pairs of schemes, this reading found nothing in either document that says how the two combine.
Neither guideline addresses this combination. Confirm with the department before you rely on it.

What to do next
Work out what your own project would draw.
What AP MIDH Guidelines (Mushroom) pays you depends on your own state, size and cost. The calculator asks where you are, what you are building and what it costs, then prices every scheme on this site against that, shows the document behind each figure, and writes a link you can send to your bank.
Or have MushroomWale build it.
MushroomWale designs and builds mushroom farms. For the farms we build, we also prepare and pursue the claim: the DPR, the documents, the bank, the sanctioning department and the joint inspection.
We prepare and pursue the claim only for farms we build.
