Indicatively ≈ ₹3,082/month on the ~₹1.8 Lakh term-loan portion (at 11% over 7 years), with ~₹20,000 promoter margin. The report computes exact figures.
Banks typically expect ~10% margin — about ₹20,000 for a ₹2 Lakh project — plus any scheme subsidy.
NABARD, MUDRA Kishor, PMFME fit this range. The report is configured to your chosen scheme.
Yes. Under PMFME scheme, you can get a 35% capital subsidy (up to ₹10 lakh) for mushroom farming if you are a micro food processing unit. The subsidy is back-ended, meaning you receive it after loan disbursement and verification. NABARD also offers credit-linked subsidy for mushroom cultivation under its agri-clinic and agri-business schemes. However, MUDRA loan does not provide direct subsidy but offers low-interest loans without collateral.
The repayment period is typically 5 to 7 years. For a 7-year tenure at 11% interest, the monthly EMI is ₹3,082. You can also opt for a shorter tenure (e.g., 5 years) which would increase the EMI to ₹4,349. The bank may allow a moratorium of 3-6 months on principal repayment, during which only interest is payable. It's advisable to choose a tenure that matches your cash flow from mushroom sales.
For MUDRA Kishor loan (₹50,001 to ₹5 lakh), you need: KYC documents (Aadhaar, PAN), a simple business plan, quotations for assets, and proof of business address. No collateral or third-party guarantee is required. The loan is processed quickly, often within 2-4 weeks. You can apply online via the MUDRA portal or directly at any bank branch.
Mushroom farming has high profit potential. With proper management, you can produce 200-300 kg of mushrooms per cycle (45-60 days). At a selling price of ₹150-200 per kg, gross revenue per cycle is ₹30,000-₹60,000. You can have 5-6 cycles per year. Net profit after expenses (spawn, labour, substrate) can be ₹1.5-2.5 lakh per year. The DSCR of 1.75 ensures comfortable loan repayment. However, profits depend on local market prices and disease control.
