INTRODUCTION.

There are 812 roller flour mills in our country producing approximate 25 million tonnes, of milled cereal products worth Rs. 1200 crores. Flour Mills can be installed with minimum capacity of 30 TPD of raw material crushing capacity per day to maximum 1000 TPD. The capacity suggested in this report is for mini flour mill i.e. 30 tonnes of raw material crushing capacity per day. As per CII mckinsey survey it is estimated that by 2005 the market for branded Atta has grown to Rs. 15000 crore. B. MARKET POTENTIAL.

Whole wheat flour is used in making Chapaties, Puries, Parotha and other roasted cereal based products. Wheat flour or Maida is a basic raw material for making Bread, Biscuits Cakes and other bakery products. Sooji / Rava is used in many sweetmeat products. Bran separated on milling is used as cattle feed. The products sold under brand names are very few. The concept for branded cereal flour products is now increasing. The big giants like Hindustan Lever, NEPC Agro, Nirma etc. have jumped in to this lucrative industry.
