The pitch
Bay Leaf Essential Oil is produced by steam distilling dried bay leaves to obtain high‑purity oil for culinary, aromatherapy and pharmaceutical applications.
B2B buyers include spice manufacturers, aromatherapy product makers, and Ayurvedic formulation companies; distribution occurs via regional distributors and online B2B platforms. The unit processes 500 kg of dried bay leaves per day in a 10‑liter batch steam distillation system, with daily QC testing and refrigerated storage for finished oil.
₹24,87,000 covers steam distillation unit, storage tanks, QC lab equipment, and initial working capital.
Demand shape for this sample line — advisory, not a market study.
Buyers
Households, kirana/wholesale traders, and workshops or institutional kitchens (depending on edible vs lubricant positioning) drive repeat offtake.
Channels
Demand watch-out: Buyers compare price and trust heavily — weak packing or unclear grade kills repeat demand faster than machinery choice.

Steady year-round. Edible oils move year-round; agri-input crushers may feel harvest-linked supply more than consumer demand swings.
₹24,87,000 is the official PMEGP sample project cost shown for this idea. Your actual project cost may differ — treat this as a planning reference, not a quote.
Indicative PMEGP-style margin money rates on this site run up to 35% of project cost, depending on beneficiary category and rural vs urban area. This is not a guarantee of subsidy, sanction, or bank finance — verify current guidelines before applying.
City / region. Packaged oil often needs city/regional distribution; pure crush-and-local-sale can stay closer to the catchment.
