Hello friends! I’m from West Bengal and planning to buy some agricultural machinery like tractor, power tiller, or sprayer :tractor:. I heard the government gives subsidy on farm equipment, but I can’t find any official list for 2025 :confused:. Is there a PDF or online portal where I can check the approved machinery and subsidy percentage? If anyone has applied before or knows the exact process and website, please share here. It will really help many farmers like me
