The Bihar Agriculture Department is providing subsidy support for cold press oil mills and oil packaging units under the Pradhan Mantri Rashtriya Krishi Vikas Yojana (PM-RKVY) for 2026–27. The scheme is currently applicable in 24 districts of Bihar, with subsidy of up to ₹2 lakh for general-category beneficiaries and ₹2.5 lakh for SC/ST beneficiaries for the cold press oil mill, along with separate support for packaging machinery.
Applications are being accepted online through the Bihar Agriculture Department's application portal.
Important: Application dates and selection schedules can vary by district. Check your district's latest notice before applying.
The Cold Press Oil Extraction & Packaging Incentive Scheme (कोल्ड प्रेस तेल निष्कर्षण एवं पैकेजिंग प्रोत्साहन योजना) is being implemented by the Bihar Agriculture Department under Pradhan Mantri Rashtriya Krishi Vikas Yojana (PM-RKVY).
The scheme is designed to encourage local processing of oilseeds through cold press oil extraction and packaging, helping applicants turn agricultural produce into finished, packaged oil products.
Recent district-level reports state that the state has sanctioned ₹4.976 crore (₹497.60 lakh) for this initiative in 2026–27, with a statewide target of 298 units.
The subsidy is calculated as a percentage of the eligible cost, subject to the maximum limit.
| Component | General Category | SC/ST Category |
|---|---|---|
| Cold Press Oil Mill | 40%, maximum ₹2 lakh | 50%, maximum ₹2.5 lakh |
| Packaging Machine | 40%, maximum ₹1.20 lakh | 50%, maximum ₹1.50 lakh |
For example, if an eligible cold press oil mill costs ₹5 lakh: - General category: 40% = ₹2 lakh - SC/ST category: 50% = ₹2.5 lakh
These are illustrative calculations. The final eligible cost and subsidy are determined by the department according to the applicable scheme conditions.
The scheme focuses on two major components.
Recent district-level information specifies an electric cold press oil mill of 10 HP or more, including models with a filter. The machine can be used for processing oilseeds such as:
