India agritourism numbers
- India's agrotourism segment has been projected to grow ~13% annually, in line with the global rate, driven by urban weekend demand from metros like Mumbai, Pune and Bangalore.
- The Agri Tourism Development Corporation (ATDC), founded in 2005 in Pune by Pandurang Tavare, organised India's first commercial agro-tourism network and catalysed the sector. India's first agro-tourism centre under ATDC opened in Baramati, Maharashtra.
- Maharashtra was the first Indian state with a dedicated agri-tourism policy (2024 version offering subsidies for agro/rural/eco-tourism units), and remains the state with the most organised supply.
- Typical price points (Agrekoo marketplace data, 2026): ₹1,500–₹6,000 per night per room for farm-stay accommodation, and ₹700–₹2,500 per person for one-day picnic/activity packages including meals.
