NABARD AgriSURE Fund

AgriSURE (Agri Startups and Rural Enterprises) is a category-II AIF anchored by NABARD that provides equity and quasi-equity capital to agritech and rural enterprise startups across the value chain, deployed through NABVENTURES as fund manager. AgriSURE carries a ₹750 crore corpus split between the Government of India, NABARD and private co-investors, with ₹300 crore earmarked for direct equity investment in startups (tickets of up to ₹25 crore each) and ₹450 crore deployed as a fund-of-funds into sector-specific and sector-agnostic AIFs. NABVENTURES, NABARD's wholly-owned investment arm, manages the fund and has already approved roughly ₹200 crore across more than 300 agri startups spanning food processing, animal husbandry, fisheries, farm mechanisation and agri value chains.
