Complete breakdown of NHB subsidies, drip irrigation integration, and bio-farming technology for maximum ROI.
Setting up a polyhouse in India is a high-yield agribusiness venture, but the cost and subsidy process can feel overwhelming. This guide breaks down everything—from per-acre investment to NHB subsidy eligibility and drip irrigation integration.
A polyhouse is a climate-controlled greenhouse structure covered with UV-stabilized polyethylene film. It protects crops from extreme weather, pests, and diseases while optimizing light, temperature, and humidity for higher yields (2x–5x) compared to open-field farming.
Costs vary based on structure type, automation level, and location. Below is a realistic breakdown for a 1-acre (4,000 sqm) polyhouse:
| Component | Estimated Cost (₹ Lakhs) |
|---|---|
| GI Structure & Fabrication | 10 – 14 |
| UV-Stabilized Polyfilm + Shade Net | 5 – 7 |
| Drip Irrigation System (with Fertigation) | 3 – 5 |
| Cooling & Ventilation System (Fans, Pads) | 4 – 7 |
| Installation & Labor | 3 – 5 |
| Electrical & Automation (Sensors, Controllers) | 2 – 4 |
| Total Investment / Acre | ₹28 – ₹45 Lakhs |
| NHB Subsidy (50% of admissible cost) | Up to ₹17.5 Lakhs |
| Net Cost After Subsidy | ₹10.5 – ₹27.5 Lakhs |
*Admissible cost is determined by NHB guidelines. Subsidy is credit-linked and disbursed post-approval.
A modern polyhouse is incomplete without a drip irrigation + fertigation system. This delivers water and nutrients directly to the root zone, reducing water usage by up to 40% and increasing fertilizer efficiency.
From DPR preparation to NHB subsidy approval and construction—we handle everything.
UV-stabilized films, 14-gauge GI pipes, rust-proof structures, and ISI-certified drip systems.
Organic pest management, crop rotation plans, and fertigation schedules for sustainable yields.
End-to-end assistance with NHB/NABARD applications, bank liaison, and DPR preparation.

"NAITIK AGRI helped me get my NHB subsidy approved in just 45 days. Their DPR format was spot-on. The demo consultation saved me ₹2 Lakhs on the drip system layout."
"We were confused about polyhouse vs shade net. The team visited our farm, analyzed the land, and suggested the perfect setup. We're now harvesting 3x our previous yield."
"The video demo of the fertigation system was a game-changer. We understood exactly how to automate water and nutrient delivery. Highly recommend their free consultation."
