The pitch

Produce ready‑to‑cook soya chunks by dehydrating and grinding soya beans, packaging them for retail and wholesale distribution.

Retail grocery chains, supermarkets, local kirana stores, online marketplaces, and direct sales to food processing units. Operations involve sourcing locally grown soya beans, using a 5 kW dehulling unit, a 3 kW grinder, a 2 kW packaging machine, and maintaining a 20 % inventory turnover cycle.

Sample capital cost ₹22,55,000 covers procurement of a 200 m² production unit, 10 kW power supply, 5 kW water treatment, 3 kW refrigeration, 2 kW packaging line, and initial inventory of raw soya beans.

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.

Watch-outs

Idea-specific discussion points — not automatic disqualification

  • Raw Material Supply

    Ensure long‑term contracts with local soya bean growers to avoid price spikes and supply gaps.

  • Food Safety Compliance

    Obtain FSSAI license and adhere to GMP; failure to meet standards can halt production.

  • Waste Management

    Implement proper disposal or recycling of dehulling waste to meet environmental clearance.

  • Market Acceptance

    Validate demand through pilot sales; low uptake can delay revenue generation.
