The pitch
Produces ready-to-eat crispy corn snacks by roasting, seasoning, and packaging maize-based kernels in a semi-automated batch process.
Sells to local grocery retailers, school canteens, and institutional catering suppliers in nearby towns; distribution via wholesale mandis and direct supply to snack outlets. Operates in two shifts with 4–5 workers; requires consistent raw maize supply, daily quality checks on texture and moisture, and cold storage for finished goods before dispatch.
Sample/template cost: ₹24,87,000. Covers a 1,200 sq ft rented production unit, basic roasting and seasoning equipment, packaging line, raw material storage, and working capital for initial inventory.
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
Demand watch-out: Demand dies if routes and return policies are weak — map offtake points before sizing capacity to the sample DPR.

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.
₹24,87,000 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.
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.
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.

Idea-specific discussion points — not automatic disqualification
Raw material price volatility
Maize and corn prices fluctuate seasonally; maintain buffer stock and vendor contracts to avoid cost spikes.
Shelf-life and storage
Snacks are moisture-sensitive; invest in proper packaging and climate-controlled storage to prevent spoilage.
Retail channel competition
Competes with established branded snacks; focus on local supply consistency and pricing to retain small retailers.
Labor retention in food processing
Skilled food-grade handling staff are in short supply locally; plan for training and higher turnover.
