Planning polyhouse farming in Rewa? Rewa is a mid-sized city in Rewa District, Madhya Pradesh, home to about 2.4 lakh people (GeoNames)[1][2], about 610 km from Delhi. This guide works from Rewa's own monthly climate to suggest the protected structure, the crops to start with, and the months each crop is likely to do well.
Climate for polyhouse farming in Rewa
May is the hottest month in Rewa, with average daily highs of about 43°C. January has the coolest nights, averaging 8°C.[3] The area gets about 987 mm of rain a year, most of it in June to September, peaking in July at about 297 mm.

Advantages of protected cultivation in Rewa
1
આખું વર્ષ પાક
A polyhouse stretches the season: in Rewa cucumber can be grown for about 9 months a year under cover, longer than in the open field.
2
વધુ સારું ઉત્પાદન અને ભાવ
Plants grow without rain, hail and wind damage, so yields are higher and more even, and clean, graded produce sells at a better price, especially off-season.
3
ઓછું પાણી
Drip irrigation under cover uses less water than flood irrigation, and the roof keeps July's 297 mm of rain off the crop and the soil.
4
Less pesticides
Insect net on vents and doors keeps out most pests, and controlled ventilation helps with leaf disease in the humid months (July to September), so you spray less often.

Which polyhouse suits Rewa?
For polyhouse farming in Rewa, the structure decides which months you can crop and what it costs to run. The heat in Rewa comes with dry air. In April to June, average highs reach 43°C while average humidity is only about 30%. In that dry air, wet pads can bring a 43°C May afternoon down to roughly 31°C inside a Fan & Pad polyhouse, which keeps herbs and vine crops going; lettuce will still struggle in the hottest weeks. For vine crops such as capsicum and cucumber, a naturally ventilated polyhouse with a shade screen works from February and August to November and costs less to run.
Plan for heavy rain in July (about 297 mm): raise the plinth, size the gutters for that month and keep drains away from the nutrient tank. Sunlight peaks in May at about 7.0 kWh per m² a day, so add a shade screen for leafy greens in the brightest months. A nethouse, the lowest-cost option, can grow hardy crops in February and October to November, when it is mild and fairly dry.
Crops for Rewa
Based on Rewa's climate, the crops with the longest growing windows are cucumber (9 months), lettuce (9 months) and capsicum (8 months). Cucumber fits March to November with Fan & Pad cooling. These are the crops we would plan first for polyhouse farming in Rewa.

Urban households in Madhya Pradesh spent an average of ₹5,589 per person per month in 2023–24, below the all-India urban average of ₹7,078.[6] Rewa is large enough for steady local sales to restaurants, hotels and fruit-and-vegetable retailers. Start with a farm size that matches the orders you can confirm.

Polyhouse farming in Rewa: FAQs
Can a polyhouse farm run all year in Rewa?
Yes, with the right structure. For Rewa we would plan a Fan & Pad polyhouse for leafy greens. Even then, lettuce is hard to grow in May to July, so plan another crop for those months.
Which polyhouse is best for Rewa?
With May highs of about 43°C and 23% average humidity in that month, we would start with a Fan & Pad polyhouse for leafy greens.
Which crops should I grow in a polyhouse in Rewa?
Going by the monthly climate, cucumber, lettuce and capsicum have the longest growing windows. Confirm prices and volumes with buyers before you plant.
Is polyhouse farming profitable in Rewa?
It can be, if the crop, the structure and the buyers match. In Rewa, cucumber and lettuce have the longest seasons under cover. Confirm prices and volumes with buyers first; our Detailed Project Report works out the cost, yield and returns for your plot.
Does Kryzen build polyhouses in Rewa?
Yes. Our nearest site is our Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar warehouse, about 800 km away, and we have built 8 projects in Madhya Pradesh.
Is there a subsidy for polyhouse or hydroponic farms in Madhya Pradesh?
Yes. Protected cultivation projects in Madhya Pradesh can apply for Mission for Integrated Development of Horticulture (MIDH) assistance through the state horticulture department. Check the current rate and area limit when you apply.
