## ANSWER

MINISTER OF STATE FOR AGRICULTURE AND FARMERS WELFARE क ृ िष एवं िकसान कʞाण राǛ मंũी (SHRI RAM NATH THAKUR)

- (a): Government  is  implementing  Agricultural  Marketing  Infrastructure  (AMI),  a  subscheme of Integrated Scheme for Agricultural  Marketing (ISAM) across the country. Under AMI, since inception and up to December, 2024, in Andhra Pradesh 1547 godowns, with a capacity of 61.38 lakh MT, have been sanctioned and a subsidy of Rs. 319.3 crore released.
- (b):          AMI  is  demand  driven  scheme  in  which  eligible beneficiaries  avail loan  and  capital back  ended subsidy is provided.  The  eligible  beneficiary  submits  project  proposal  for  term loan including subsidy to the financial institution (FI) in prescribed application form along with Detail Project Report (DPR) for appraisal and sanction. Financially viable and self-sustained projects are sanctioned by the FI, which release the first installment of loan and then submit the claims of subsidy to National Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development (NABARD).

Cooperative Institutions / Societies submits agricultural marketing infrastructure proposals  including  storage  infrastructure  projects  to  National  Cooperative  Development Corporation  (NCDC).  On  appraisal,  NCDC  sanctions  loan  and  after  disbursal  of  the  first instalment to the beneficiaries, submits the eligible subsidy claims to Directorate of Marketing and Inspection (DMI) for release of fund.

State agencies that do not wish to avail loans from FIs, submits the project proposal to DMI Regional Office (RO) / Sub Office (SO) to avail eligible subsidy under the AMI scheme.

(c) & (d): The district-wise details of number of applications received under AMI scheme from Andhra Pradesh during last five years and for the current year is at Annexure-I. As on 31 st December,  2024,  402  applications  have  been  approved  and  fund  of  Rs  49.32  crore  have been sanctioned and Rs 46.31 crore released.

- (e): Some projects have been rejected due to the following reasons:
- i. Term loan was less than 50% which doesn't comply with the scheme guidelines.
- ii. Non-submission of advance subsidy claims in the ENSURE portal of NABARD within 90 days of disbursal of 1 st  instalment of term loan by FIs.
