Every year, the Government of India announces the Minimum Support Price (MSP) for 22 notified agricultural crops. These prices are fixed based on the recommendations of the Commission for Agricultural Costs & Prices (CACP), after considering inputs from State Governments and relevant Central Ministries. For the financial year 2024–25 (up to June 2025), the government’s MSP procurement and farmer support has been significant:
Procurement: 1,175 Lakh Metric Tonnes
MSP Payment to Farmers: ₹3.33 Lakh Crore
Number of Beneficiary Farmers: 1.84 Crore
Launched in February 2019, PM-KISAN is a Central Sector Scheme that provides financial assistance of ₹6,000 per year to landholding farmers in three equal instalments. The amount is directly transferred to Aadhaar-linked bank accounts of beneficiaries through Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT).
As of now, ₹3.69 Lakh Crore has been disbursed across 19 instalments under this scheme.
Introduced in Kharif 2016, PMFBY offers crop insurance to safeguard farmers against crop loss due to natural calamities and adverse weather.
Up to June 2025, farmers have paid a total premium of ₹35,753 Crore under the scheme and have received claim payouts worth ₹1.83 Lakh Crore — which is approximately 5 times the total premium paid.
