MoFPI provides credit linked financial assistance  (capital  subsidy)  in  the  form  of  grants-in-aid  to  entrepreneurs  for  setting  up  of  food processing/preservation infrastructure which, interalia, includes cold storages to minimize post-harvest losses. As on 30 th June, 2024, 1680 projects have been approved under PMKSY.

Apart from MoFPI, Ministry of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare has launched the Agriculture Infrastructure Fund (AIF) Scheme in July 2020 under the Atmanirbhar Bharat package in order to improve post-harvest infrastructure and create community farming assets.

Tentative State/UT wise allocation of loans to be financed by banks and other lending institutions in these States/UTs are placed at Annexure-I .
