To accelerate farm mechanization and curb crop residue burning, the Government of India offers substantial financial subsidies under schemes like SMAM (Sub-Mission on Agricultural Mechanization) and CRM (Crop Residue Management).
Who is Eligible for Equipment Subsidies?
Individual farmers, custom hiring centers (CHCs), cooperative societies, and registered FPOs can apply for state-approved implements including Straw Reapers, Rotavators, Super Seeders, and Laser Land Levellers.
- Individual Farmers: Typically receive 40% to 50% subsidy depending on category and landholding.
- Custom Hiring Centers (CHCs): Up to 80% project assistance for establishing village-level machinery hubs.
- In-Situ Residue Implements: Special allocations for stubble management machines in Punjab, Haryana, UP, and MP.
All BEW India implements are certified at authorized testing stations (including FMTTI Budni/Hisar) for hassle-free subsidy claims through state portal registrations.
