AI SummaryFal Podharopan Yojana is running in all districts of Madhya Pradesh in 2026, and farmers can apply online through the MPFSTS portal of the Horticulture and Food Processing Department. Under this scheme, a farmer planting fruit saplings on private land gets a subsidy of 40% to 50% of the unit cost, which can go up to ₹80,000 for ultra high density plantation with drip irrigation.
Money comes in three parts over three years in a 60:20:20 ratio, so the first year gives the biggest share. Land between 0.25 hectare and 4 hectare is covered, and crops like mango, guava, custard apple, pomegranate, banana and munga are included.
Fal Podharopan Yojana 2026 Details
Horticulture and Food Processing Department of Madhya Pradesh runs this scheme to help farmers set up fruit orchards. Before approving a case, the department looks at your land condition, local climate and the water source you have. That is why irrigation proof matters at the time of applying.
Payment is not given in one go. First year covers planting cost, and the next two years' payments come only after the department checks that the plants are alive and the orchard is being maintained. So keeping the plants healthy after planting is part of getting the full amount.

Who Can Apply
Rules are simple, but the land record and water source are checked properly before approval. Read the points below before applying.
- You should be a farmer of Madhya Pradesh and the land should be in your own name in the revenue record.
- Land taken up for the orchard should be between 0.25 hectare and 4 hectare, so very small plots are not covered.
- A working irrigation source like a well, tube well or canal should be there, because saplings need water in the first years.
- Farmers from General, Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe categories can all apply, with separate targets kept for SC and ST farmers.
- Land should be going under fruit plantation for the first time, not an old orchard being shown again.
Documents Required
Keep scanned copies ready before you start the online form, as the portal asks for uploads during submission.
- Aadhaar card of the farmer, linked with the mobile number used for the OTP.
- Land ownership papers such as khasra, khatauni or B1 copy showing the plot details.
- Bank passbook copy with the account number and IFSC, since payment comes into the bank account.
- Caste certificate for SC and ST farmers who want the benefit under their category target.
- Forest Rights Certificate where the land is held under forest rights, and a recent passport size photo.
Status of the Scheme in 2026
Scheme is still open and forms are being taken through the MPFSTS portal during the plantation season, which mostly runs from the monsoon months. District targets are fixed every financial year, so applications are approved as per the target for that district. If the target for your district is over, the case can move to the next year, and the horticulture officer of your block can tell you the current position.
Other farming support schemes of the state are also worth checking, like Nalkoop Khanan Yojana for tube well subsidy and Annapurna Scheme Seed Exchange Programme for subsidised seed.
Help and Contact
For any problem in the application, farmers can contact the district horticulture office or write to the MPFSTS help desk at mpfsts.helpdesk@mp.gov.in. Complaints about pending payment can also be filed on CM Helpline number 181.
