PMMSY Ice Plant/Cold Store Scheme, Haryana — ₹32L to ₹48L Subsidy

Cold chain capacity is one of the biggest practical hurdles in Haryana's fisheries sector, and this PMMSY sub-component exists to remove it. It backs the construction of ice plants and cold storage units with a capacity of at least 20 tons, returning a large slice of the capital cost to the entrepreneur who builds them.

The Fisheries Department, Government of Haryana, runs the scheme within the state. Nationally it sits under the Pradhan Mantri Matsya Sampada Yojana, anchored by the Ministry of Fisheries, Animal Husbandry & Dairying, Government of India. Because it is a centrally sponsored programme, the bill is split down the middle — the Centre funds half and the Government of Haryana funds the other half.

The support is designed to do more than put up a building. A beneficiary is expected to keep the unit operating, absorb every running and maintenance cost after construction, and make ice available to local fishers and fish farmers at rates they can afford. That promise is recorded as an undertaking inside the Detailed Project Report (DPR) every applicant submits, so the infrastructure created keeps serving the fishing community over the long run.

• Subsidy of ₹32,00,000 (General) or ₹48,00,000 (SC and Women) against a ₹80,00,000 project
• For ice plants and cold storage units with a capacity of at least 20 tons
• Applications stay open on a rolling basis — there is no closing date
• Open to Haryana residents who hold a Parivar Pehchan Patra
• Cost shared equally between the Centre and the Government of Haryana

Who can apply

• You must be a resident of Haryana.
• You must hold a valid Parivar Pehchan Patra (PPP).
• You must either own the land for the project or hold it on a long-term registered lease of at least 10 years.
• You must be prepared to bear all operational, maintenance and post-construction management costs of the unit yourself.
• You must, through an undertaking in your Detailed Project Report (DPR), commit to running the ice plant or cold store without interruption and to supplying ice to fishers and fish farmers at affordable rates.

The commitment to keep the facility running and to serve the local fishing community at reasonable prices is treated as part of eligibility itself, not merely as a condition imposed after approval. Applicants who cannot meet the land ownership or lease requirement will not qualify, so the land arrangement should be settled before filing.
