AI SummaryPradhan Mantri Matsya Sampada Yojana: Motor Cycle with Ice Box helps fishers in Haryana get money support to buy a motorcycle fitted with a specialized ice box. The ice box keeps the catch cold during transit, so fresh fish reaches the market in good condition. The Fisheries Department of Haryana manages this component under the central Pradhan Mantri Matsya Sampada Yojana (PMMSY).
The scheme is open for applications in 2026 through the Antyodaya-SARAL portal and district fisheries offices. A beneficiary can get a subsidy of up to 40% of the project cost in the general category and up to 60% for SC, ST, women and cooperative applicants, with the total project cost capped at ₹75,000 per unit.
Pradhan Mantri Matsya Sampada Yojana: Motor Cycle with Ice Box - Introduction
This component was launched under PMMSY to modernize fish transport in Haryana. Many fishers sell their catch far from the water body, and without proper cold storage the fish loses quality during the journey. A motorcycle with an ice box solves this problem by creating a small cold chain for short distance transport. The scheme is a centrally sponsored component, and the state Fisheries Department handles the selection of beneficiaries and release of subsidy.
Applications are accepted online through the Antyodaya-SARAL portal, and the same process is used for other PMMSY transport components like cycle with ice box and three wheeler with ice box. The subsidy is released only after the beneficiary completes the purchase and submits the required proof.
