J&K Poultry Capital Investment Incentive

The J&K Poultry Policy 2020 provides financial support for the capital expenditure involved in establishing or expanding a commercial poultry enterprise.

Farms raising commercial layers or broilers with a capacity exceeding 10,000 birds per unit are eligible for a capital investment incentive. This incentive, offered as credit access, covers 30% of the investment in plant and machinery, capped at Rs 50 lakh.

The support extends to essential modern equipment, including automated feeding lines, cages and battery systems, climate control, and egg handling infrastructure. By setting the threshold at 10,000 birds, the policy directs its benefits towards commercially scaled operations rather than small backyard flocks.

- Enrol the poultry unit under the J&K Poultry Policy 2020 through the Single Window portal. - Set up and record a rearing capacity exceeding 10,000 birds. - Secure financing and deploy funds into qualifying plant and machinery. - File the incentive claim, attaching invoices, the bank sanction letter, and a CA-certified statement of investment. - The department checks the investment and disburses 30%, subject to a ceiling of Rs 50 lakh.

Claims are not subject to a competitive selection process. Instead, each application is checked against the certified investment in plant and machinery and the farm's rearing capacity. The subsidy is then capped at the lower of 30% or Rs 50 lakh.
