The pitch
Produce roasted and flavored Makhana (fox‑nut) snacks in a small manufacturing unit.
Local retailers, supermarkets, online marketplaces (e.g., Amazon, Flipkart), and food‑service outlets. Procure raw Makhana, roast and season on a continuous line, pack into sealed sachets, conduct quality checks, and store finished goods before distribution.
Sample cost ₹40,56,000 covers setting up a 200 sq m manufacturing plant, roasting and seasoning equipment, packaging line, quality‑control lab, storage racks, and initial inventory of raw Makhana.
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
Demand watch-out: Demand dies if routes and return policies are weak — map offtake points before sizing capacity to the sample DPR.

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.
₹40,56,000 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. Most sample food lines sell within a delivery radius you can cover daily; long-haul only makes sense with shelf-stable packing and partners.

Market Competition & Pricing
Health‑snack segment is crowded; differentiate through unique flavors and price positioning.
