Four steps, the way the mission checks them.
Every rupee on this page comes from the MIDH cost norm for your structure and area band — not from a price list.
- MIDH Operational Guidelines 2025 (dated 31.12.2024), Annexure V, table B.5 — “Protected cultivation”.
- Assistance: 50% of the cost norm, for a maximum of 2,500 m² per beneficiary (walk-in tunnels: 3 units of 800 m²).
- NE & Himalayan states, scheduled areas, vibrant villages, Andaman & Nicobar and Lakshadweep: cost norms 15% higher; the 50% rate is unchanged.
- 01
Find the area band
band = up to 500 m² · 500–1,008 m² · 1,008–2,500 m²NVPH and fan-pad norms fall as the structure grows. The band is set by the whole structure, and its norm applies to every square metre of it.
- 02
Estimate the project cost at the norm
cost = area × norm(band) × 1.15 if NE / HimalayanThis is the cost the scheme recognises. Site conditions, film grade and automation move the real quotation by about ±10%.
- 03
Cap the area that earns assistance
assisted area = min(area, 2,500 m²) · walk-in: 2,400 m²Anything beyond the cap is built at your cost; the norm for the assisted part is read from the band of the capped area.
- 04
Apply the 50% rate
assistance = 50% × assisted area × norm × uplift · your share = cost − assistanceMIDH assistance is back-ended — released after the joint inspection, so the full cost is financed first.
| Structure | Up to 500 m² | 500–1,008 m² | 1,008–2,500 m² |
|---|---|---|---|
| NVPH (Naturally Ventilated) | ₹1,200 | ₹1,050 | ₹1,000 |
| Fan-Pad / Climate Controlled | ₹1,800 | ₹1,600 | ₹1,500 |
| Shade Net House | ₹710 | ₹710 | ₹710 |
| Walk-in Tunnel | ₹720 | ₹720 | ₹720 |

How much does a 1000 sqm polyhouse cost in India?
A naturally-ventilated (NVPH) polyhouse of 1000 sqm is costed at ₹10.5 lakh under the MIDH 2025 cost norm (₹1,050/sqm for the 500–1,008 sqm band). MIDH pays 50% of that norm in general areas — ₹5.25 lakh — so your share at norm cost is around ₹5.25 lakh. A fan-pad climate-controlled unit of the same size is costed at ₹16 lakh (₹1,600/sqm).
What is the polyhouse subsidy in India?
Under MIDH (Mission for Integrated Development of Horticulture), assistance is 50% of the cost norm for a maximum of 2,500 sqm per beneficiary (pro-rata for smaller areas). In NE & Himalayan states, scheduled areas, vibrant villages, Andaman & Nicobar and Lakshadweep the cost norms are 15% higher, so the rupee subsidy is higher — the rate stays 50%. Some states add a top-up of their own; check with your state horticulture mission.
Which polyhouse type is best for India?
NVPH suits most plains and is cheapest. Fan-pad cooled polyhouses are essential for high-value crops in hot regions (Rajasthan, Gujarat). Shade-net houses suit leafy greens and nursery work. Walk-in tunnels work for off-season vegetables in small plots.
How long does polyhouse subsidy take?
MIDH subsidy is back-ended: you build first, then submit completion docs. AgriMotion handles end-to-end filing — typical disbursement takes 3-6 months after Joint Inspection by the state horticulture department.
Does AgriMotion build polyhouses across India?
Yes. We have executed polyhouse and net-house projects in Uttar Pradesh, Haryana, Punjab, Rajasthan, Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Karnataka, Gujarat and Himachal Pradesh. Turnkey EPC with MIDH filing included.
