The Telangana government has been allocated ₹599 crore in incentives to accelerate the AgriStack platform, a digital framework for agricultural services.
The state of Telangana has received a package of ₹599 crore in incentives earmarked for the AgriStack programme. The funding is intended to expand the digital infrastructure that connects farmers with government services, market information and financial products. AgriStack, a cloud‑based platform, aims to streamline land records, crop insurance and subsidy disbursements through a single interface.
State officials said the incentive will be deployed over the next financial year, focusing on onboarding small and marginal farmers to the system. The move aligns with the central government's push for a "Digital India" in agriculture, seeking to improve transparency and reduce transaction costs.
The allocation underscores Telangana's commitment to modernising its agrarian sector, which contributes significantly to the state's economy. Stakeholders anticipate that the enhanced digital ecosystem will boost productivity and farmer incomes, though the exact rollout timeline remains under discussion.
