Who buys & when

Demand shape for this sample line — advisory, not a market study.

Buyers

Households, tea shops, and small retailers are the usual cash buyers; institutions and HORECA appear once quality and daily offtake are steady.

Channels

  • Neighbourhood retail
  • Tea stalls / HORECA
  • Local distributors
  • Festival gifting
Seasonality
Festival peaks
Everyday sales can be steady, but festivals and school seasons often lift volumes — plan working capital for those spikes, not only average days.
Locality
City / region
Most sample food lines sell within a delivery radius you can cover daily; long-haul only makes sense with shelf-stable packing and partners.

Demand watch-out: Demand dies if routes and return policies are weak — map offtake points before sizing capacity to the sample DPR.

What is the sample project cost?

₹12,12,000 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.

What subsidy might apply under PMEGP?

Watch-outs

Idea-specific discussion points — not automatic disqualification

  • Power fluctuations

    Baking ovens need consistent voltage; voltage sags can damage heating elements and spoil product quality.

  • Raw material quality

    Fluctuating wheat flour and fat quality affects biscuit texture; need supplier authentication and buffer stock.

  • Packaging hygiene

    Non-standard packaging can invite pest entry; must follow FSSAI packaging guidelines and use tamper-evident seals.

  • Working capital strain

    Inventory of flour, fats and sugar ties up cash; plan daily production to avoid overstock and wastage.
