PMMSY: Ice Plant/Cold Store of Minimum 30-Ton Capacity - Haryana

The Pradhan Mantri Matsya Sampada Yojana (PMMSY), introduced by the Ministry of Fisheries, Animal Husbandry & Dairying, Government of India, targets the Blue Revolution through sustainable fisheries development. This component focuses on post-harvest infrastructure, supporting the creation of modern ice plants and cold storage facilities. In Haryana, the centrally sponsored scheme offers a substantial subsidy to individuals and entrepreneurs for units with a minimum capacity of 30 tons. The objective is to reinforce the cold chain, improve fish preservation, cut post-harvest losses, and enhance market access for fishers and fish farmers in the state.

The scheme operates with participation from both central and state governments, fostering a collaborative approach to strengthen the fisheries ecosystem. Beneficiaries must ensure the long-term operational viability of their units, so that improved preservation infrastructure benefits primary producers through affordable ice supply.
