Mushroom subsidy in Uttar Pradesh

The most a mushroom growing unit draws in Uttar Pradesh

₹89.25 lakh

The same integrated mushroom unit where the project includes canning, priced at the higher of the two per-tonne norms the clause states.

Paid by NHB Scheme No. 1.

Private applicant, general area, 35%. You reach that only by building all the way to the scheme’s own limit of 300 MT of installed capacity, which the scheme costs at ₹255.00 lakh. A smaller project draws proportionally less.

Your project must be bigger than 50 MT of installed capacity to qualify at all. Below that it pays nothing at all, not simply less.

The most any one of the 9 schemes that apply here pays for the growing rooms themselves, never a total of them. The growing rooms are not all these schemes fund: see what else they price.

Uttar Pradesh is paid at the ordinary rate, unless your own site sits inside a notified scheduled area or vibrant village. That is decided site by site, not state by state, so it is worth checking for your plot. Uttar Pradesh’s own scheme is verified, with 3 rules for mushroom cultivation, below, though we could not confirm from the document that the scheme is still running.

See how these schemes actually work for the myths, limits and loopholes behind every figure.

What decides whether you get anything

These are the conditions NHB Scheme No. 1 carries, the scheme behind the figure above. Each of the other schemes on this page carries its own, set out on its own page.

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)
Sanction before commencement applies. The approving authority must issue its sanction before eligible expenditure is incurred. Read what starting work early costs you.

What we read, and why we cannot confirm it is still currentRead the full note

Uttar Pradesh, recovered 2026-09-13 via the Wayback Machine CDX index, after two prior passes (11 Sep dossier, 13 Sep task-24a re-check) both stopped at the same wall: the exact mushroom cost-norms table this record needs, "National Horticulture Mission Programme and Assistance, 2015-16", row 2 "Mushroom", sits inside an HTML comment (`<!--...-->`) on the LIVE `uphorticulture.gov.in/en/page/m-i-d-h-` page today and renders to no visitor. The prior agent was right not to cite hidden/commented-out figures as a currently-published document.

This record does NOT do that. It cites a different, earlier state of the same URL: the Wayback Machine holds a capture from 2019-06-09 (`http://uphorticulture.gov.in:80/en/page/ m-i-d-h-`, timestamp 20190609231005) in which this exact table is NOT inside a comment, it is live, rendered HTML, the same as every other genuine content table on that page. Checked directly against the archived bytes: scanning backward and forward from the "Mushroom" table row for the nearest `<!--`/`-->` markers finds none bracketing it. The table renders identically (same headings, same row order) in every capture checked from 2019-06-09 through 2020-10-25 (7 captures spot-checked); by the next available capture, 2022-06-18, the same table is already wrapped in a comment, matching the state found on the live site today. So at some point between late 2020 and mid-2022, the department's own CMS stopped rendering a table it had never actually deleted, and it has sat there, invisible to the public, ever since.

The figures recovered from the pre-comment capture are byte-identical to the ones the prior agent found hidden in the comment (Production unit Rs.20 lac/unit @40%; Spawn making unit Rs.15 lac/unit @40%; Compost making unit Rs.20 lac/unit @40%, all "Private sector", all "credit linked back ended subsidy"), so this is not a different, newer table, it is proof that the SAME table was, for at least part of 2019-2020, genuinely published and visible to any citizen who opened this page, before the department's own site regressed. Per this project's Wayback-evidence standard: this is a `.gov.in` domain (condition 1), the capture timestamp is recorded above and in the evidence clause (condition 2), and this note says plainly that the record is recovered from an archive because the live copy is gone from view (condition 3, in this note). `status` is set to 'unknown' rather than 'active', the table's own heading dates it "2015-16" (a scheme-year label only, no day/month printed anywhere on the page; NHM was centrally folded into MIDH in 2014, so a state page still labelling its own table "National Horticulture Mission... 2015-16" one year later is legacy nomenclature, not evidence of current operation), and the fact that the department's own live site has since let this exact content go dark (whether deliberately or through neglect) is itself a reason not to claim currency. `nextReviewDue` is set at 90 days, per the archive-recovered rule.

No dated successor was found: the DBT portal (`dbt.uphorticulture.in`) has no mushroom/MIDH PDF in its own Wayback history either (CDX walked, zero hits), and the live page's other tab ("Annual Work Plan 2017-19"), already checked in the 13 Sep pass, carries physical/financial planning targets only, no per-unit subsidy rate, so it cannot supersede this table.

Central schemes that apply in Uttar Pradesh

These apply everywhere in India; what changes from state to state is the share they pay. Each line shows the most that scheme pays for any one item at Uttar Pradesh’s rate, and the document it comes from. Between them they also fund a spawn laboratory, a compost yard, a pack house and processing, a cold store, help with loan interest, a credit guarantee and machinery, each at its own rate.

  • MIDH₹210.00 lakh

    At most, for its biggest single item: The same Cold Storage Type-I, built instead as a pre-engineered building (PEB) frame combined with civil work and PUF/PIR panels, priced per tonne of storage capacity up to 5,000 MT, at a higher per-MT rate than the plain-civil row.

What to do next

Work out what your own project would draw.

What you actually draw in Uttar Pradesh depends on what you build and what it costs. 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.
