Starting a broiler poultry farm in India requires a well-structured project report to secure NABARD-backed loans. This page provides a complete guide for entrepreneurs in states like Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, or Maharashtra, seeking loans of ₹5–50 lakh under NABARD's animal husbandry schemes. A bank-ready project report includes critical financial data such as CMA (Credit Monitoring Arrangement) data, Debt Service Coverage Ratio (DSCR), and 5-year projections of income, expenditure, and cash flow. These elements demonstrate the project's viability and repayment capacity, essential for loan approval. Our report covers unit size, bird capacity, feed costs, mortality rates, and revenue from live birds or dressed meat. It also details subsidy eligibility under NABARD's capital subsidy schemes, which can reduce the project cost by 25-35%. Whether you are a first-time entrepreneur or an existing farmer expanding, this report helps you present a professional proposal to banks like SBI, Canara Bank, or regional rural banks.
To qualify for a NABARD-backed broiler poultry loan, the applicant must be an Indian citizen aged 18-60 years, with a viable land parcel (minimum 0.5 acre for a 1000-bird unit). The project should be technically feasible and financially viable, with a minimum promoter's contribution of 10-20% of the project cost. Priority is given to farmers, women, SC/ST, and entrepreneurs with prior animal husbandry experience. The unit must follow biosecurity norms and have access to clean water, electricity, and veterinary support. Loans are available for new units or expansion, with a repayment period of 5-7 years including a moratorium of 6-12 months.
A typical broiler poultry project of 2000 birds per batch requires a total cost of approximately ₹15-20 lakh. This includes land development (₹1-2 lakh), broiler shed construction (₹6-8 lakh), equipment like feeders and drinkers (₹2-3 lakh), day-old chicks (₹1.5-2 lakh per batch), feed for 6 weeks (₹4-5 lakh per batch), and working capital for 2-3 cycles (₹2-3 lakh). NABARD refinances up to 90% of the loan amount, with banks providing the remaining. Subsidy under NABARD's capital subsidy scheme covers 25% of the project cost (max ₹10 lakh) for general category, and 33.33% (max ₹15 lakh) for SC/ST/women. The subsidy is released after the project is commissioned and inspected.

NABARD refinances loans ranging from ₹5 lakh to ₹50 lakh for broiler poultry projects. The actual loan amount depends on the project cost, which is determined by the scale of operation (number of birds per batch, type of housing, etc.). Typically, a 1000-bird unit requires a loan of around ₹7-10 lakh, while a 5000-bird unit may need ₹30-40 lakh.
NABARD provides a capital subsidy of 25% of the project cost (up to ₹10 lakh) for general category entrepreneurs, and 33.33% (up to ₹15 lakh) for SC/ST/women. The subsidy is back-ended, meaning it is released after the project is completed and verified. It is credited to the loan account, reducing the principal amount.
The repayment period is typically 5 to 7 years, including a moratorium (grace period) of 6 to 12 months. During the moratorium, only interest is payable. After that, the loan is repaid in equated monthly installments (EMIs). The interest rate is usually 9-12% per annum, depending on the bank and the borrower's credit profile.
While prior experience is not mandatory, it is highly preferred. Banks look for training certificates from institutions like KVK (Krishi Vigyan Kendra) or state agricultural universities. If you are a first-time entrepreneur, attending a short-term training program on broiler management and submitting a certificate along with your loan application will significantly improve your chances of approval.
