Currently, Punjab proposes to provide subsidy for 67,750 units of agricultural implements per year and Haryana has notified a scheme in May 2016 to subsidise 1,810 units of agricultural
implements. This is not sufficient, considering 56–57 million tonnes and 36–37 million tonnes of crop residue are generated in Punjab and Haryana, respectively. This subsidy for agricultural
equipment, which will retill the straw or bale it for use in energy and paper plants, needs to be stepped up immediately.
