State scheme

TR SHM MIDH Cost Norms (Mushroom)

Published as “Tripura State Horticulture Mission MIDH Cost Norms, Mushrooms”, Directorate of Horticulture & Soil Conservation, Government of Tripura.

TR SHM MIDH Cost Norms (Mushroom) is Tripura’s own scheme, administered by Directorate of Horticulture & Soil Conservation, Government of Tripura. It is verified against a primary document, with 2 rules for mushroom cultivation below.

The most this pays for one item

₹8.00 lakh

The mushroom growing/production unit itself.

Printed in the document as “Production Unit”.

Private applicant, general area, 40%. That percentage is taken of ₹20.00 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 2 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 ₹20.00 lakh to build, and pays a share of that, not of your own quotation. It calls that figure a cost norm.

Table rows (PDF p.5), verbatim: Public Sector "Rs. 20.00 lakh/unit | Rs. 20.00 lakh/unit | 100% of the cost"; Private sector "Rs. 20.00 lakh/unit | Rs. 8.00 lakh/unit | 40% of cost, for meeting the expenditure on infrastructure, as credit linked back ended subsidy", Rs 8.00 lakh is exactly 40% of the Rs 20.00 lakh cost norm, confirming the two columns are cost-norm and computed-assistance, not two independent figures. On the gap against the current central norm: this is not a lower rate the state set for itself, it is the central norm the current one replaced. The Ministry of Agriculture's own earlier MIDH Operational Guidelines, dated February 2014 on its title page, prices exactly these three components at exactly these figures at Annexure-V, item "III. Mushrooms", and Government of India Annual Action Plans for states well outside this set (Punjab 2021-22 among them) reproduce them under the heading "Maximum permissible cost". Two things that does NOT mean. This atlas holds the two central guidelines and not the revisions between them, so it cannot say when the norm was raised; and a page written while that was the central norm was correct when it was written, so nothing here says this department erred. See "The Rs 20 lakh figure is the old central one" under How it works, which shows the earlier guideline in full.

Spawn Making Unit

The spawn laboratory.

The scheme assumes this item costs ₹15.00 lakh to build, and pays a share of that, not of your own quotation. It calls that figure a cost norm.

No "Compost making unit" row exists anywhere in this 9-page document for mushroom, searched in full; only Production Unit and Spawn Making Unit are listed under "III Mushrooms", unlike AP's, Telangana's and central MIDH's three/four-row tables. Recorded as two rules, not three or four, because that is what this document actually contains, understating rather than assuming a parallel compost row that isn't printed. On the gap against the current central norm: this is not a lower rate the state set for itself, it is the central norm the current one replaced. The Ministry of Agriculture's own earlier MIDH Operational Guidelines, dated February 2014 on its title page, prices exactly these three components at exactly these figures at Annexure-V, item "III.

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.

A note on what changed in this reasoning, and what did not. This verdict used to rest, in part, on the cost norms here being "genuinely different" from central MIDH's, which was read as a sign of a separate, state-authored schedule. That reading was wrong: Rs 20 lakh / Rs 15 lakh / Rs 20 lakh is the central norm the current one replaced. The figures therefore distinguish nothing on their own, in either direction, and the verdict below is re-derived without them. Re-derived on what the document says it is, which it says three times over. Its own opening heading reads "Mission for Integrated Development of Horticulture (MIDH) - A Centrally Sponsored Scheme"; the table these rows sit in is headed "Cost norms and pattern of assistance under Mission for Integrated Development of Horticulture (MIDH)"; and the rows themselves sit under "III Mushrooms", the same item number and heading the central Annexure V uses, carrying the central Pattern of Assistance sentence verbatim ("40% of cost, for meeting the expenditure on infrastructure, as credit linked back ended subsidy"). This is the central scheme's own table as Tripura's State Horticulture Mission publishes it, at the norms of the day, which is the same reading this project already applied to Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. A Tripura mushroom applicant draws one subsidy under MIDH, not two: 'excluded'. Practical effect on a Tripura grower, checked rather than assumed: none downward. Tripura is an NE state, so the current central Annexure V pays it 50% of ₹30 lakh on a production unit and 50% of ₹20 lakh on a spawn unit, more than this table on both components and on components this table does not carry at all, so the engine was already selecting central MIDH over these rows before this verdict changed. What the verdict changes is the reason a reader is given: these rows are not a second, forgone entitlement, they are the same entitlement at a superseded price.

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.

Work out what your own project would draw.

What TR SHM MIDH Cost Norms (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.
