    Overview

    NABARD is not one scheme — it is an ecosystem

    NABARD operates through multiple programs — AIF for post-harvest infrastructure, Rural Godown for warehouses, Dairy Entrepreneurship Development Scheme (DEDS), FPO promotion under SFAC/NABARD, and RIDF for state-level rural infrastructure. The right scheme depends on whether you are a farmer, FPO, processor, dairy entrepreneur or state agency. AgriMotion maps your project to the correct NABARD vertical.

    What is NABARD and what does it do?

    NABARD (National Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development) is the apex refinance and development bank for Indian agriculture and rural sectors. It runs or channels several schemes (Rural Godown, DEDS, FPO promotion, RIDF), is one of the lending and monitoring channels for the Agriculture Infrastructure Fund, and refinances cooperative banks and regional rural banks.

    How does the AIF work via NABARD?

    AIF is a Government of India financing facility run by the Department of Agriculture & Farmers Welfare (DA&FW).

AIF gives no capital subsidy — check the current disbursement window with your bank.
