Starting a banana chips manufacturing unit is a profitable food processing venture in India, especially in banana-growing states like Tamil Nadu, Maharashtra, Gujarat, and Kerala. With NIC code 10306, this business falls under the Ministry of Food Processing Industries (MoFPI) and is eligible for schemes like PMFME (Pradhan Mantri Formalisation of Micro Food Processing Enterprises) and PMEGP (Prime Minister's Employment Generation Programme). A typical project cost ranges from ₹3 lakh (micro unit) to ₹25 lakh (small-scale automated line). For a bank loan, a comprehensive project report is mandatory. This report must include CMA (Credit Monitoring Arrangement) data, Debt Service Coverage Ratio (DSCR), and 5-year financial projections (profit & loss, balance sheet, cash flow). It demonstrates viability to banks like SBI, Canara Bank, or regional rural banks. This page provides a ready-to-use format, cost breakdown, machinery list, and subsidy details for a banana chips unit, helping entrepreneurs and CAs prepare a bank-ready proposal.
For a banana chips unit with a capacity of 50 kg per day, the project cost is approximately ₹5 lakh (including machinery, furniture, and working capital). A larger unit (200 kg/day) costs around ₹20 lakh. Machinery includes a banana slicer (₹30,000), frying kettles (₹50,000), centrifuge oil remover (₹40,000), packaging machine (₹60,000), and weighing scales. Under PMFME, you can get a 35% capital subsidy (max ₹10 lakh) for individual units. PMEGP offers 15-25% subsidy for general and special categories (max ₹15 lakh project cost). MUDRA Kishor loan up to ₹5 lakh is available for micro units. Bank loans typically cover 75-90% of project cost, with a 5-7 year repayment period. Collateral free loans up to ₹10 lakh are possible under CGTMSE. Ensure your project report includes a detailed cost sheet with quotations and working capital assessment.
Any Indian entrepreneur above 18 years can apply. For PMEGP, you need at least 8th standard education (relaxable for certain categories). For PMFME, you must be an existing or new micro food processing unit. Required documents: Aadhaar, PAN, bank statement, GST registration (if turnover > ₹40 lakh), FSSAI license (mandatory for food business), Udyam registration, and a detailed project report. The project report should include land proof (own/rented), machinery quotations, raw material sourcing plan (banana supply from local farmers), manpower details, and marketing strategy. For bank loan, also submit CMA data for the last 3 years (if existing business) or projected CMA. Banks may ask for collateral for loans above ₹10 lakh; CGTMSE cover can be used for collateral-free loans up to ₹2 crore.
