J&K Poultry Incinerator Subsidy

Under the J&K Poultry Policy 2020, commercial poultry farms can claim a subsidy for the safe disposal of carcasses and waste.

Farms rearing layers or broilers with a capacity above 10,000 birds are eligible for a 50% subsidy on an incinerator. The subsidy is capped at Rs 1 lakh.

At commercial scale, mortality and hatchery waste must be destroyed on site. Burial or open dumping carries both a biosecurity risk and a regulatory problem. For most farms, an incinerator is the least expensive route to compliance and to containing disease spread, and this incentive covers half its cost.

1. Enrol the poultry unit under the J&K Poultry Policy 2020 and show that its capacity exceeds 10,000 birds. 2. Buy the incinerator and have it installed, retaining the invoice along with proof of installation. 3. File the subsidy claim, attaching the invoice and evidence of payment. 4. The department carries out verification of the installation at the farm. 5. 50% of the cost is disbursed, subject to a ceiling of Rs 1 lakh.

There is no competitive selection involved. Verification is carried out by checking the incinerator invoice, confirming installation at the farm, and assessing rearing capacity.
