The scheme, being implemented since 1988-89, with equal share of Govt. of India & State Govt., provides subsidy for kerosene driven Out Board Motors of below 10 HP .

The focus was later shifted to the replacement of Out Board Motors.
Subsidy Amount- Rs.10,000/ per unit (till 2006-07) Rs 30000/-per unit (from 2007-08 onwards).
Norms for Assistance
(a) Subsidy is made available to only existing units and those constructed for replacement of existing units.
(b) Subsidy amount is Rs.30,000/- since 2007-08 per Out Board Motor (OBM ) below 10 HP.
