Overview
This PMMSY component is a capital subsidy window for entrepreneurs in Haryana who want to build industrial-scale fish feed manufacturing capacity. Applications are handled by the Fisheries Department, Government of Haryana, while the scheme itself comes from the Ministry of Fisheries, Animal Husbandry & Dairying, Government of India.
The unit being funded has to produce at least 100 tons of feed a day — a capacity meant to serve aquaculture at scale rather than a single farm. The purpose of the support is to close the feed gap: when quality feed is available at a reasonable price, fish farmers can expand output and the state's aquaculture base becomes more sustainable.
PMMSY is a Centrally Sponsored Scheme, so the subsidy is split evenly — half from the Central Government and half from the State Government. Once the plant is commissioned, the beneficiary runs and maintains it independently and is expected to keep feed available to fishers at competitive prices.
There is no fixed closing date. Applications are accepted on a rolling basis, through the Antyodaya-SARAL Portal or in person at the nearest Atal Seva Kendra.

What the funding covers
The support is a capital subsidy against the cost of establishing a fish feed plant with a capacity of at least 100 tons a day. The project cost is taken as ₹6.5 crore, and the subsidy is calculated as a percentage of that cost:
- General category applicants receive 40% of the project cost, amounting to ₹2.6 crore.
- Scheduled Caste and Women beneficiaries receive 60% of the project cost, amounting to ₹3.9 crore.
As a Centrally Sponsored Scheme, the subsidy is funded jointly — half by the Central Government and half by the State Government.
Beyond the money, beneficiaries get regulatory guidance for setting up and operating the plant, which helps them stay compliant within the fisheries ecosystem.
In return, the beneficiary is responsible for running and maintaining the plant independently and for making feed available to fishers at competitive prices.
