The rising cost of labour and the growing need for efficiency have pushed Indian farmers toward modern mechanisation. To support this shift, both the Central and State Governments offer attractive subsidies on power reaper, tractor reapers, and power weeders. These subsidies reduce machinery costs by up to 50%, helping farmers embrace technology without heavy financial strain.
By combining government schemes with reliable agricultural machines from trusted manufacturers, farmers can save big and improve their farm productivity. At Krishitek, we further simplify this process by providing high-performance agricultural machines and assistance with farm mechanisation subsidy documentation.
A government subsidy on farm machinery is financial assistance provided by the Central and State Governments. The goal is simple: make modern agricultural machines affordable for farmers, boost productivity, and reduce manual labour.
These subsidies are part of the Sub-Mission on Agricultural Mechanisation (SMAM) launched by the Ministry of Agriculture & Farmers Welfare. Under SMAM, farmers across India receive financial support to purchase advanced equipment like power reapers, tractor reapers, and power weeders.
Eligible farmers include:
SMAM and related state schemes ensure that every farmer, regardless of land size, can access modern agricultural machinery to improve yields and income.
The subsidy rates depend on the farmer category and the type of machine. Under most state and central schemes:
Â
| Farmer Type | Government Subsidy on Power Reaper/Power Weeder | Government Subsidy on Tractor Reaper |
| SC/ST/Women/NE/Hilly Region | Up to 50% | Up to 50% |
| Other Farmers | Up to 40% | Up to 40% |
Â
However, the exact subsidy percentage can vary slightly by state or maximum funding limits under SMAM guidelines.
For example, Gujarat, Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, Odisha, Bihar, Chhattisgarh, Karnataka, and West Bengal may follow similar structures, while Uttarakhand, Himachal Pradesh, and Assam may offer additional support to promote mechanisation in hilly terrains.
Applying for a subsidy on agricultural machinery is now fully digital. Here’s the step-by-step process for most states in India:Â
Each state may have small variations, but the process remains straightforward and transparent.Â
For subsidy eligibility, power weeders should usually be in the 3 to 10 HP range, depending on usage and state norms.
Â
The machine must be tested and approved by a recognised testing institute such as the Farm Machinery Training and Testing Institute (FMTTI) or a State Agricultural University (SAU).
This ensures that only quality, safe, and efficient agricultural machines enter the market, protecting both farmers and their investment.Â

Yes, but there are limits. Most subsidy schemes allow 1–2 machines per farmer per year, depending on the state.
It’s wise to choose machines with the highest impact, such as power reapers, tractor reapers, and power weeders, to get maximum value and faster ROI. Krishitek helps farmers plan purchases strategically to make the most of available subsidy cycles.Â
The government usually disburses subsidies through Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT). After inspection and approval, the amount is transferred directly to the farmer’s bank account.
No. Selling before the lock-in period (usually 3–5 years) can lead to subsidy recovery.
No. Only new agricultural machines from empanelled manufacturers qualify for SMAM or state schemes.
You can reapply in the next cycle or contact your local agriculture officer for help.
Yes, in some states, tenant farmers can apply using valid lease agreements.
Yes. CHCs receive special funding under SMAM’s dedicated subsidy component.
Modern farming begins with the right machines, and the government is ready to share the cost. By claiming your power reaper, tractor reaper, or power weeder subsidy, you can cut investment by up to 50% and boost productivity across every acre.
At Krishitek, we provide complete guidance from machine selection to subsidy documentation, ensuring every farmer gets the maximum benefit.
