## ANSWER

## THE MINISTER OF STATE FOR FOOD PROCESSING INDUSTRIES (SHRI PRAHLAD SINGH PATEL)

(a)  to (c): Ministry of Food Processing Industries (MoFPI) does not support setting up of stand alone cold storages. However, it provides Grants in Aid for cold storage infrastructure as part of  food  processing  projects  under  relevant  component  schemes  of  Central  Sector  Pradhan Mantri Kisan SAMPADA Yojana (PMKSY). As part of 41 Mega Food Parks, Ministry has approved  setting up of cold storage and deep freeze capacity of 2.3 LMT and as part of 350 Integrated  Cold  Chain  projects,  Ministry  has  approved  creation  of  cold  storage  capacity  of 10.02 LMT across the country under corresponding component schemes of PMKSY. Being Central Sector  and demand driven scheme, no state wise allocation is made under PMKSY.

Department of Agriculture & Farmers Welfare is implementing Mission for Integrated Development of Horticulture (MIDH) for development of Horticulture in the country including Jharkhand  &  Madhya  Pradesh  under  which  financial  assistance  is  available,  inter-alia,  for setting up of Post Harvest Management (PHM) infrastructure including establishment of cold storages  (Construction,  Expansion  and  Modernization)  etc.  The  component  is  demand/ entrepreneur driven for which assistance at the rate 35% of the eligible project cost in general areas  and 50% in hilly & scheduled areas, is available as credit linked back ended subsidy through  respective  State  Horticulture  Missions.  State-wise  details  of  funds  allocated  and released  under  MIDH  for  various  activities  including  creation  of  cold  storage  facilities  to various States during last two years and current year is placed at Annexure.
