“We will expand the Deendayal Upadhyaya Homestay Scheme to increase the capital subsidy for hill areas from the current ₹ 10 lakhs to ₹ 15 lakhs and that of the plains areas from the current ₹ 7.5 Lakhs to ₹ 10 Lakhs.”
Homestay support is active and later reporting states assistance up to ₹15 lakh, but Pauri district material still records the older ₹10 lakh hill / ₹7.5 lakh plains capital subsidy structure. I could not verify both promised increases as a clean statewide rule. Hill-area increase appears partly reflected in later reporting, but the exact two-part increase for hill and plains is not fully verified from official scheme text. Budget: About ₹50 crore grant support to 1,085 beneficiaries was reported in 2025; scheme-specific revised subsidy liability exists but exact hill/plains revision not isolated.
BJP manifesto promised: We will expand the Deendayal Upadhyaya Homestay Scheme to increase the capital subsidy for hill areas from the current ₹ 10 lakhs to ₹ 15 lakhs and that of the plains areas from the current ₹ 7.5 Lakhs to ₹ 10 Lakhs.
