From our industries research

Official source ↗

Milling wheat, maize, jowar, or rice into flour/atta for local retail and institutional sale; PMFME maintains official Model Detailed Project Reports (DPRs) for wheat-flour and maize-flour mill units.

What you should know

Best suited to
Semi-skilled entry and moderate machinery investment (Rs 10.82-24.40 lakh per PMFME model DPRs) suit self-employed professionals and small MSMEs with some starting capital, more than a very-low-capital home-based entrepreneur. Suits rural entrepreneurs given the local wheat/maize/jowar catchment area and institutional/PDS-adjacent retail demand. Also suits women entrepreneurs via SHG/FPO-linked models, where flour milling is often bundled with other primary processing activity.
