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. 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.

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). 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.
