Planning polyhouse farming in Sujangarh? Sujangarh is a mid-sized city in Rajasthan, home to about 1.8 lakh people (GeoNames)[1][2], about 290 km from Delhi. Below we use the town's monthly temperatures, humidity and rainfall to work out which structure fits, which crops to grow and in which months, before you spend on construction.

May is the hottest month in Sujangarh, with average daily highs of about 42°C. January has the coolest nights, averaging 7°C.[3] Rain is scarce: about 427 mm a year.

Advantages of protected cultivation in Sujangarh
1
ఏడాది పొడవునా పంటలు
A polyhouse stretches the season: in Sujangarh cucumber can be grown for about 9 months a year under cover, longer than in the open field.
2
మెరుగైన దిగుబడి మరియు ధర
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
తక్కువ నీరు
With only about 427 mm of rain a year here, drip irrigation under cover saves water: less is lost to evaporation and run-off than in the open field.
4
Less pesticides
Insect net on vents and doors keeps out most pests, so you spray less often.

Polyhouse, shade net and nethouse projects in Rajasthan can apply for Mission for Integrated Development of Horticulture (MIDH) assistance through the state horticulture department.[5]
Which polyhouse suits Sujangarh?
For polyhouse farming in Sujangarh, the structure decides which months you can crop and what it costs to run. The heat in Sujangarh comes with dry air. In April to June, average highs reach 42°C while average humidity is only about 28%. In that dry air, wet pads can bring a 42°C May afternoon down to roughly 30°C inside a Fan & Pad polyhouse, cool enough for lettuce and other leafy greens. For vine crops such as capsicum and cucumber, a naturally ventilated polyhouse with a shade screen works from November and costs less to run.
Sunlight peaks in May at about 7.2 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 to March and November, when it is mild and fairly dry.
Crops for Sujangarh
Based on Sujangarh's climate, the crops with the longest growing windows are cucumber (9 months), chilli pepper (7 months) and brinjal (7 months). Cucumber fits March to November with Fan & Pad cooling. These are the crops we would plan first for polyhouse farming in Sujangarh.

₹6,640Spending per person per month, urban Rajasthan, 2023–24[6]
290 kmto Delhi, the nearest metro (straight line)
Urban households in Rajasthan spent an average of ₹6,640 per person per month in 2023–24, below the all-India urban average of ₹7,078.[6] Sujangarh 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 Sujangarh: FAQs
Can a polyhouse farm run all year in Sujangarh?
Yes, with the right structure. For Sujangarh we would plan a Fan & Pad polyhouse for leafy greens. Even then, lettuce is hard to grow in May to September, so plan another crop for those months.
Which polyhouse is best for Sujangarh?
With May highs of about 42°C and 24% 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 Sujangarh?
Going by the monthly climate, cucumber, chilli pepper and brinjal have the longest growing windows. Confirm prices and volumes with buyers before you plant.
Is polyhouse farming profitable in Sujangarh?
It can be, if the crop, the structure and the buyers match. In Sujangarh, cucumber and chilli pepper 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 Sujangarh?
Yes. Our nearest site is our Nashik warehouse, about 860 km away, and we have built 6 projects in Rajasthan.
Is there a subsidy for polyhouse or hydroponic farms in Rajasthan?
Yes. Protected cultivation projects in Rajasthan 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.
