What is the sample project cost?
₹30,09,000 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.

Watch-outs
Idea-specific discussion points — not automatic disqualification
Food safety licensing
FSSAI basic or medium licence mandatory; ensure factory premises meet hygiene and waste disposal norms before production starts.
Seasonal demand swings
Sales peak during festivals and school terms; plan inventory and cash flow to avoid stockouts or idle capacity in low months.
Sugar price volatility
Raw material cost is sensitive to sugar and glucose price changes; factor buffer stock and supplier contracts into pricing.
Packaging quality
Moisture-barrier and food-grade packaging critical for shelf life; poor packaging leads to returns and brand loss.
Higher ticketEducation gate
Other funding routes worth checking
Beyond PMEGP — schemes that may complement this project's sector or cost band.
