Who buys & when

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

  • Wholesale traders
  • Retail / branded packs
  • Workshops (if lubricant)
Seasonality
Steady year-round
Edible oils move year-round; agri-input crushers may feel harvest-linked supply more than consumer demand swings.
Locality
City / region
Packaged oil often needs city/regional distribution; pure crush-and-local-sale can stay closer to the catchment.

Demand watch-out: Buyers compare price and trust heavily — weak packing or unclear grade kills repeat demand faster than machinery choice.

    • Figures are illustrative for discussion, not a sanction estimate.
    • Actual margin money and contribution depend on current PMEGP guidelines and implementing agency.
    • Land cost is generally excluded from project cost under the scheme.
    • Full-capacity revenue is estimated at 2× project cost (₹10.8 L) — adjust it to your own numbers.

    Indicative only — actual bank DSCR calculations add back depreciation; treat this as a sense-check, not a bank figure. Verify with your CA/bank before applying.
