Samadhan Projects
The pitch
Produce tomato ketchup by processing fresh tomatoes into paste, blending with spices, sugar and vinegar, cooking, and bottling into consumer-ready packs.
Retail grocery chains, supermarkets, local kirana stores, online e‑commerce platforms, and small restaurants in the region. A team of 3–4 staff will operate the plant daily, perform quality checks on raw tomatoes and finished product, manage inventory of raw and finished goods, and maintain hygiene standards.
Sample cost ₹6,77,000 covers a small processing unit with tomato paste machine, mixer, bottling line, packaging materials, initial inventory of tomatoes and spices, and working capital for the first 3 months.
Demand shape for this sample line — advisory, not a market study.
Buyers
Local households and small businesses are the default demand base for Samadhan sample lines unless the product name points to a clearer pack.
Channels
Demand watch-out: Generic demand assumptions fail when the product is highly specialized — validate with local buyers before locking capacity.

Idea-specific discussion points — not automatic disqualification
Raw Material Price Volatility
Tomato prices can fluctuate seasonally; secure long‑term contracts or buffer stock to mitigate cost spikes.
Regulatory Compliance
FSSAI registration, GST compliance, and adherence to food safety standards are mandatory; delays can halt production.
Shelf Life & Storage
Ketchup has a limited shelf life; ensure proper cooling, packaging integrity, and timely distribution to avoid spoilage.
Cash Flow Timing
Initial capital is tied up in equipment and inventory; plan for a 3–6 month break‑even period and secure working capital accordingly.
Beyond PMEGP — schemes that may complement this project's sector or cost band.
