What is the NABARD subsidy amount for Mandarin in Sikkim?

The specification "Ha" 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.

What is the loan repayment period for Mandarin financing in Sikkim?

NABARD-linked term loans for horticulture investments like Mandarin typically have a repayment period of 5–9 years (including a moratorium of 1–2 years).

Exact tenure depends on your bank and the specific scheme.
