PMMSY: Ice Plant/Cold Store of Minimum 20-Ton Capacity - Haryana

## Pradhan Mantri Matsya Sampada Yojana (PMMSY) — Ice Plant/Cold Store (minimum 20-ton capacity)

The Ministry of Fisheries, Animal Husbandry & Dairying, Government of India, runs PMMSY for ice plants and cold stores of at least 20 tons capacity. Under this centrally sponsored scheme, subsidies are offered to build cold chain infrastructure for fish preservation in Haryana. Funding is shared equally: the Central Government puts in 50%, and the State Government of Haryana contributes the remaining 50%.

The scheme targets entrepreneurs and businesses in the fisheries sector, enabling them to create infrastructure that serves fishers and fish farmers.

Applicants must include an undertaking in their Detailed Project Report (DPR). Through it, they commit to running the unit without interruption, bearing all costs incurred after construction, and making ice available to local fishers and fish farmers at affordable rates. The requirement is intended to secure lasting gains for the community and the state's fishing industry, rather than merely adding new infrastructure.
