Overview

  • Applicants book online with a Rs 5,000 token deposit, receive confirmation by mobile notification, and pay the remaining share digitally after subsidy.
  • Published schedules detail combined central and state support ranging from about Rs 98,593 to Rs 2,54,983 per pump depending on type and horsepower.
  • Eligible borrowers can access a 6% interest rebate under the Agricultural Infrastructure Fund, split equally between the Centre and the state.
  • Borehole dimensions are mandatory by pump capacity, and failure to meet requirements during verification can lead to token confiscation and rejection.
  • The portal lists district-level targets for combined 2 HP and 3 HP categories, enabling farmers to select configurations that suit their needs.
