PROJECT PROFILE
FOR COLD STORAGE PROJECT
(www.ncdc.in/downloads/ProjectProfile_coldstrg.doc) (07.10.2013)
Cold
Storages are essential for extending the shelf life, period of marketing,
avoiding glut, post harvest losses reducing transport bottlenecks during peak
period of production and maintenance of quality of produce. It is, therefore, necessary that cold
storages are to be constructed in major producing as well as consuming
centres. The development of cold storages
in the country has an important role in reducing the wastages of the perishable
commodities and providing remunerative prices to the growers and to make
available farm products to the consumers at competitive and affordable prices.
Location
The
project may be located anywhere in the country suitably either near the
producing farms or consumer centres.
Project
cost
The
project cost for setting up of 5000 MT Cold Storage may be in the range of
Rs.350 – 400 lakh, including cost of the land.
Quantum of subsidy
Back-
ended subsidy @ 40% of the project cost for general and 55% in case of hilly
and scheduled areas for maximum storage capacity up to 5,000 per ton under the Govt.
of India / NHB Capital Investment Subsidy Scheme.
