The pitch
Produce evaporated milk by pasteurizing raw milk, evaporating to 6–7% solids, and packaging in 200 ml cartons for retail and wholesale distribution.
Retail supermarkets, grocery chains, local kirana stores, and online grocery platforms; direct sales to small retailers and bulk buyers. The plant operates in two 12‑hour shifts, sourcing raw milk from local dairies, pasteurizing, evaporating in a rotary evaporator, and packaging into 200 ml cartons. Quality control checks moisture, fat, and microbial limits. Finished goods are stored in a temperature‑controlled inventory before distribution.
₹21,51,000 sample cost covers a 10–25 lakh capacity plant, including raw milk procurement, pasteurization and evaporation equipment, 200 ml carton packaging line, cold storage, initial working capital and compliance costs.
Demand shape for this sample line — advisory, not a market study.
Buyers
Households, sweet shops, and local institutions (hostels, canteens) are the primary demand base for small dairy units.
Channels
Demand watch-out: Spoilage and collection reliability set the ceiling on real demand — not the sample capacity figure alone.

Steady year-round. Daily offtake matters more than seasons; festival mithai demand can still create short peaks.
₹21,51,000 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.
Hyperlocal. Fresh dairy is usually a short-radius business unless you invest in cold chain and packing.

Idea-specific discussion points — not automatic disqualification
Milk Quality Variability
Raw milk quality can fluctuate seasonally, affecting product consistency and shelf life.
Power Supply Reliability
Continuous operation requires stable electricity; frequent outages can halt production and damage equipment.
Regulatory Compliance
FSSAI registration, GMP, ISO 22000, and local health inspections must be maintained to avoid shutdowns.
Market Price Volatility
Fluctuations in milk and packaging costs can squeeze margins if not hedged.
Shelf‑Life Management
Evaporated milk has a limited shelf life; improper storage can lead to spoilage and losses.
