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

The Pradhan Mantri Matsya Sampada Yojana (PMMSY) supports the establishment of ice plants and cold stores with a minimum capacity of 20 tons. This initiative, run by the Ministry of Fisheries, Animal Husbandry & Dairying, Government of India, is intended to strengthen cold chain infrastructure for fish preservation in Haryana. It operates as a centrally sponsored scheme, with funding split equally: 50% from the Central Government and 50% from the State Government of Haryana.

The programme targets entrepreneurs and businesses in the fisheries sector, enabling them to build infrastructure that assists fishers and fish farmers. Applicants must include an undertaking in their Detailed Project Report (DPR), pledging to keep the unit operational, bear all post-construction expenses, and provide ice to local fishers and fish farmers at reasonable rates. This arrangement is designed to ensure the facility remains functional and delivers ongoing advantages to the community and the state's fishing industry.
