The pitch

Produce packaged Kurkure snack using wheat flour, spices, oil, and a small-scale roasting and packaging line.

Retail grocery stores, local supermarkets, and online marketplaces via direct sales and distributor networks. The operation will run 5 days a week, producing 500 kg of Kurkure per week, with a dedicated QC team ensuring compliance with food safety standards.

₹7,42,000 sample cost covers purchase of a 200 sq ft production unit, roasting and packaging machinery, initial inventory of raw materials, packaging materials, and working capital for the first 3 months.

Who buys & when

Demand shape for this sample line — advisory, not a market study.

Buyers

Households, tea shops, and small retailers are the usual cash buyers; institutions and HORECA appear once quality and daily offtake are steady.

Channels

  • Neighbourhood retail
  • Tea stalls / HORECA
  • Local distributors
  • Festival gifting
Seasonality
Festival peaks
Everyday sales can be steady, but festivals and school seasons often lift volumes — plan working capital for those spikes, not only average days.
Locality
City / region
Most sample food lines sell within a delivery radius you can cover daily; long-haul only makes sense with shelf-stable packing and partners.

Demand watch-out: Demand dies if routes and return policies are weak — map offtake points before sizing capacity to the sample DPR.

How seasonal is demand?

Festival peaks. Everyday sales can be steady, but festivals and school seasons often lift volumes — plan working capital for those spikes, not only average days.

What is the sample project cost?

₹7,42,000 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.

What subsidy might apply under PMEGP?

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.

How local is demand?

Watch-outs

Idea-specific discussion points — not automatic disqualification

  • Raw material price volatility

    Flour, spices, and oil prices can fluctuate, impacting cost of goods sold. Mitigate by locking in bulk contracts and maintaining a buffer inventory.

  • Shelf life and quality control

    Kurkure has a limited shelf life; improper storage can lead to spoilage. Implement strict temperature control and monitor expiry dates.

  • Food safety compliance

    Must obtain FSSAI license and adhere to GMP. Non‑compliance can lead to shutdown and fines.

  • Distribution bottlenecks

    Relying on a single distributor can limit market reach. Diversify sales channels early.

  • Cash flow management

    High upfront capital for machinery and inventory requires disciplined cash flow; plan for working capital needs.
