Cold-Pressed Groundnut/Sesame Oil (Kachi Ghani) Unit
From our industries research
Official source ↗Wood/stone kolhu or power-ghani based cold extraction of groundnut or sesame (til) oil without heat, retaining nutrients/flavour; groundnut is a major oilseed crop across Telangana (e.g. Anantapur-adjacent belt) and Rayalaseema AP districts. KVIC maintains an official 'Groundnut Oil and Oil Cake Manufacturing' PMEGP project profile.
What you should know
- Best suited to
- Anantapur district's status as the leading groundnut-growing area in Rayalaseema (6 lakh of 11 lakh hectares regionally) gives this a strong rural-entrepreneur and farmer-linked fit. The Rs 19.5 lakh KVIC project-profile investment level and the crowded branded-D2C landscape (Tata Simply Better, Earthen Story, Little Farmer India, KachiGhaani.com) suggest better suitability for self-employed professionals and small MSMEs with some capital than a pure first-time/home-based entrepreneur. Also suited to investors/MSMEs eyeing the branded 'cold-pressed/kachi ghani' health-food trend that large FMCG players (Tata) have validated by entering the category.
