Insurance note
Insurance coverage is available at select facilities, typically around 1–2% of stored value per season. Confirm exact terms directly with the facility operator before committing produce.
Subsidy context
Cold storage infrastructure in India is supported under MIDH (Centre-State cost sharing ~85:15), plus state schemes — e.g. Maharashtra MSAMB offers up to 25% of project cost, and a dedicated onion storage subsidy of ₹1,500 per metric tonne. Verify current scheme year before applying.
