The Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs launched the PM Street Vendor’s AtmaNirbhar Nidhi (PMSVANidhi) Scheme on 1 June 2020, offering tiered collateral-free working-capital loans with interest subsidies, digital-transaction incentives, and a 20 percent capital subsidy for hygienic, ergonomically designed carts for both street-food vendors and persons with disabilities. Underpinned by the Street Vendors (Protection of Livelihood and Regulation of Street Vending) Act, 2014—which mandates vendor surveys, Town Vending Committees, and designated vending zones—PMSVANidhi seeks to formalize and strengthen vendor-municipal relationships, elevate public health standards, and integrate inclusive, climate-resilient infrastructure into urban design. This chapter outlines the scheme’s framework, legal context, sectoral challenges, and the objectives and scope of this report, which presents standardized, customizable design templates for two core components: Vending Haats and Vending Carts. These templates aim to guide States, Urban Local Bodies, and other stakeholders in creating safe, inclusive, and sustainable street-vending environments that enhance vendor welfare, urban aesthetics, and resilience.
