The pitch

Produces baked goods such as bread, biscuits, and cakes using locally sourced wheat, dairy, and spices.

Retail grocery chains, local supermarkets, and direct‑to‑consumer via farmers markets and online delivery platforms. Daily operations involve mixing, proofing, baking, cooling, packaging, and quality control. Inventory of raw materials (flour, sugar, dairy) and finished goods is managed through a simple ERP system.

₹13,02,000 sample cost covers procurement of a 200 m² production unit, ovens, mixers, packaging line, cold storage, and initial working capital.

Watch-outs

Idea-specific discussion points — not automatic disqualification

  • Land and Building Permits

    Securing land lease and obtaining building permits can delay setup; plan early and engage local authorities.

  • FSSAI Compliance

    Food safety licensing is mandatory; failure to meet standards can halt production.

  • Equipment Maintenance

    Baking equipment requires regular servicing; downtime can disrupt supply to retailers.

  • Seasonal Raw Material Prices

    Flour and dairy prices fluctuate; lock in contracts or maintain buffer stock.

  • Cash Flow Management

    Initial working capital may be strained by inventory buildup; monitor cash flow closely.

Indicative DSCR

  • 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 (₹13 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.
