Subsidy Approved Agriculture Machinery in India

VGT India (Vinglob Greentech) manufactures a wide range of subsidy-approved agriculture machinery that eligible farmers can buy at a reduced effective cost through Government of India and Gujarat state subsidy schemes. From chaff cutters to power weeders, many of our machines qualify for support under the SMAM scheme and the Gujarat iKhedut portal.

What is the Agriculture Machinery Subsidy?

The agriculture machinery subsidy is financial assistance given by the central and state governments to help farmers buy modern farm equipment at a lower cost. Under these schemes an eligible farmer pays only a part of the machine price while the government covers the rest as a subsidy — commonly up to 40–50% of the cost, depending on the equipment category, the state, and the farmer category (small, marginal, SC/ST and women farmers), as per the latest scheme norms.

Subsidy Schemes You Can Apply Under

SMAM – Sub-Mission on Agricultural Mechanization

SMAM is a central government scheme that provides subsidies on a wide list of farm machinery, including chaff cutters, power weeders, brush cutters and sprayers. Farmers apply through their state agriculture department or the official Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) agri-machinery portal.

Gujarat iKhedut Portal

Farmers in Gujarat apply for agriculture machinery subsidy through the iKhedut portal (ikhedut.gujarat.gov.in). The portal lists eligible equipment, opens application windows through the year, and lets you track your application status online.

State & Central Farm Mechanization Schemes

Along with SMAM and iKhedut, various state farm-mechanization and PM Kisan linked schemes offer support on agricultural equipment. Eligibility, subsidy percentage and documents vary by scheme and year, so always confirm the current terms on the official portal before you buy.

How to Apply for Agriculture Machinery Subsidy

1. Visit the official portal – iKhedut (ikhedut.gujarat.gov.in) for Gujarat, or your state DBT agri-machinery portal.
2. Register as a farmer and fill the application for the machinery category you want.
3. Upload the required documents – land record (7/12), Aadhaar card, bank passbook and a passport photo.
4. Submit during an open application window and note your application number.
5. After pre-approval, buy the approved machine from VGT India and submit the invoice to claim your subsidy.

VGT India provides the manufacturer invoice and machine specifications you need for your subsidy file.

Chaff Cutter Price After Subsidy

Because the subsidy percentage depends on your state, scheme and farmer category, the final price after subsidy is different for each farmer. As a general idea, an eligible farmer may pay only about 50–60% of the listed price, with the balance covered by the scheme. For an exact figure, check the current subsidy rate for your category on the official portal and apply it to the machine price.
