Pradhan Mantri Matsya Sampada Yojana - Vessel Upgradation: Who Qualifies

Learn how registered traditional fishers can get financial help to upgrade boat engines and safety equipment through this scheme.

This scheme provides financial assistance to traditional fishers looking to modernize their fishing boats with better engines and safety gear.

Who it's for

This support is available for registered traditional fishers who currently own small motorized boats.

What you get

You can receive financial assistance to help cover the costs of replacing old engines and installing necessary safety equipment on your vessel.

What it costs you

While the scheme provides support, you are required to contribute 40% of the cost yourself. To be eligible, you must provide valid boat registration and proof of ownership.

The subsidy payments are often delayed. It is important to ensure that your boat registration is fully renewed before you begin the application process.

How to apply

  1. Gather your boat registration documents and proof of ownership.
  2. Confirm your registration is currently up to date.
  3. Prepare your 40% contribution for the upgrade costs.
