District Wise Quota and Allocation Plan for Mechanization Scheme 2025
The District Wise Quota Mechanization Scheme 2025 Punjab has brought a revolutionary change to Punjab’s agriculture sector. To ensure that every region gets fair access to modern machinery, the Punjab Government has designed a District-Wise Quota and Allocation Plan for machinery financing.
This strategic distribution ensures that both developed and underdeveloped districts get equal opportunities to adopt advanced agricultural equipment such as tractors, harvesters, planters, reapers, laser land levelers, boom sprayers, and balers.
In this article, we explain the district-wise quota structure, allocation criteria, priority categories, and how farmers from each district can apply for their share under the Mechanization Scheme 2025.
Why District-Wise Quota is Important?
The Punjab Government aims to:
- Ensure Fair Distribution – No single district dominates the loan approvals.
- Promote Balanced Agricultural Growth – Both fertile and backward regions should benefit equally.
- Support Small Farmers in Remote Areas – Districts with low mechanization rates get priority allocation.
- Avoid Political/Influential Monopolies – A transparent quota system ensures accountability.

District-Wise Allocation Criteria
The quota for each district is calculated based on:
| Factor | Weightage | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
| Total Arable Land | 40% | Districts with more cultivable land get higher allocation |
| Number of Farmers | 30% | More farmer registrations = more quota |
| Mechanization Gap | 20% | Low machinery penetration districts are prioritized |
| Crop Yield Importance | 10% | High-yield wheat/rice/sugarcane districts get fair support |
Category-Wise Allocation Per District
Each district’s quota is divided into the following categories:
| Category | Share in District Quota |
|---|---|
| Small Farmers (Under 12.5 Acres) | 50% |
| Medium/Large Farmers | 25% |
| Agriculture Service Providers | 15% |
| Co-operative Groups / Agri Companies | 10% |
This ensures that small farmers get the largest share, instead of big landlords or commercial contractors.
