Casurina Subsidy in Odisha

The NABARD unit cost for Casurina in Odisha is ₹1,11,000 (specification: 1 Ha Spacing 2m x2m). This is the benchmark amount banks use when sanctioning a term loan for this activity. The actual subsidy you receive depends on the scheme — typically 25–50% of the unit cost.

The specification "1 Ha Spacing 2m x2m" defines the exact scale or parameters of the investment — such as area in hectares, capacity in litres per day, number of animals, or structural dimensions. NABARD unit costs are tied to this specification; a different scale may have a different unit cost. If your project differs, ask your bank to use the nearest applicable NABARD benchmark.

Step 1: Prepare a DPR for Casurina using the NABARD unit cost of ₹1,11,000 as the benchmark. Step 2: Visit a nationalised bank or RRB in Odisha with land records, Aadhaar, and the DPR. Step 3: The bank appraises and routes the subsidy claim through the Forestry department. Step 4: After physical verification, the subsidy is deposited into your loan account. Total processing time is typically 30–60 days.

NABARD-linked term loans for forestry investments like Casurina typically have a repayment period of 5–9 years (including a moratorium of 1–2 years). The moratorium aligns with the gestation period of the investment — for example, a fruit orchard may take 3 years to yield income, so repayment begins after that. Exact tenure depends on your bank and the specific scheme.
