The National Fisheries Development Board (NFDB) extends dedicated financial and technical assistance to boost sustainable shrimp aquaculture across India. Its initiatives focus on developing and upgrading Specific Pathogen-Free (SPF) shrimp hatcheries, improving brackish and coastal shrimp farming infrastructure, and promoting biosecure and disease-resilient production systems. NFDB provides subsidies for activities such as the construction and modernization of shrimp ponds, installation of aeration and water-quality management equipment, and adoption of advanced technologies like biofloc systems and efficient feed practices. Typically, the funding covers 25–40% of the total project cost, with higher support for women and SC/ST beneficiaries.
