Calculation of Capacity for subsidy: 
For calculation of capacity, 3.4 cubic meters (cum.) (120 cubic feet (cft.) of chamber volume shall be considered equivalent to 1 MT storage capacity 
 1 Cold storage units - 
Basic mezzanine structure with large chamber (of > 250 MT) type with single temperature zone.
• @ Rs. 8000/ MT for capacity upto 5000 MT.
• @ Rs. 7600/ MT for capacity between 5001 to 6500 MT.
• @ Rs. 7200/MT for capacity between 6501 to 8000 MT.
• @ Rs. 6800/MT for capacity between 8001 to 10000 MT.
