AgriSURE: Agri Fund for Start-Ups and Rural Enterprises

NABARD / NABVENTURES Ltd. · NABARD Free Intermediate India

This is NABARD's own page for its INR 750 Cr blended-capital fund built specifically for agriculture and rural enterprise, with ticket sizes up to INR 25 Cr across agritech, food processing, animal husbandry, fisheries, supply chain and farm mechanisation. If your startup sits close to farms and rural value chains, being on the ground where the produce actually moves is the exact story this fund is designed to back, and it is managed by NABVENTURES, a SEBI-registered Category-II AIF you can email directly at [email protected].

  • INR 750 Cr fund (INR 250 Cr each from the Government of India and NABARD, rest from private investors) targeting roughly 85 agri and rural startups over its life
  • Ticket sizes go up to INR 25 Cr and cover the full farm-to-market chain, so it fits real rural operations, not just software plays
  • Application runs through NABVENTURES ([email protected]), a wholly owned NABARD subsidiary, rather than a crowded national portal
