This page provides a comprehensive 2025 project report for starting a biscuit manufacturing unit in India, specifically for entrepreneurs seeking bank loans under schemes like PMFME, PMEGP, or CGTMSE. Biscuit manufacturing, classified under NIC 10712, is a high-demand food processing business with a typical project cost ranging from ₹10 lakh to ₹1 crore. A bank-ready project report is critical for loan approval—it must include CMA data, DSCR calculations, and 5-year financial projections. This guide covers the project cost breakup, machinery list, subsidy eligibility, and step-by-step documentation. Whether you are applying for a MUDRA loan or a PMFME subsidy, a well-prepared report demonstrates viability to lenders and increases your chances of funding. Use this template to create a customized report for your specific location and capacity.
For a biscuit manufacturing unit, the total project cost typically includes land & building (if new), plant & machinery, preliminary expenses, and working capital. For a small-scale unit (capacity 100-200 kg/day), the cost ranges from ₹10-25 lakh; for medium-scale (500-1000 kg/day), ₹50 lakh to ₹1 crore. Under PMFME, a capital subsidy of 35% (up to ₹10 lakh) is available for individual micro food processing units. PMEGP offers margin money subsidy of 15-35% depending on category. Bank loans under CGTMSE require no collateral up to ₹2 crore. A typical financing mix is 70% term loan, 20% working capital, and 10% promoter contribution. Ensure your project report includes a detailed cost breakup and sources of funds.
Essential machinery for biscuit manufacturing includes: dough mixer (planetary or spiral), dough sheeter, rotary moulder or cutting machine, baking oven (electric or diesel-fired, tunnel or deck type), cooling conveyor, and packaging machine (flow wrap or pillow pack). For a 200 kg/day unit, approximate machinery cost is ₹6-10 lakh. Add-ons like sugar grinder, oil sprayer, and metal detector are optional but improve quality. Always get quotations from at least three suppliers and include installation, commissioning, and transportation costs in your project report. Energy-efficient ovens can reduce operating costs and improve DSCR.
Eligibility: Individual, partnership, or private limited company with experience or training in food processing. For PMFME, the applicant must be an existing or new micro food processing unit. Documents required: Aadhaar, PAN, business address proof, project report with CMA data, quotations for machinery, land documents (if owned), lease deed (if rented), and GST registration. For loan above ₹10 lakh, audited financials (if existing) or IT returns for 3 years. CGTMSE cover eliminates collateral for loans up to ₹2 crore. Ensure your project report includes DSCR (minimum 1.25), debt-equity ratio, and repayment schedule.
A bank-ready project report must include projected profit & loss, balance sheet, cash flow, and DSCR for 5 years. For a biscuit unit, assume capacity utilization: 60% in Year 1, 75% in Year 2, 85% in Year 3, and 90% thereafter. Gross margin typically 25-35%. Operating expenses: raw material (flour, sugar, fat) 60-65% of sales, packaging 5%, labor 8%, power 3%, overheads 5%. DSCR should be above 1.5 for comfortable repayment. Include assumptions for inflation (5% p.a.) and price escalation. Use realistic sales prices (₹80-120/kg for plain biscuits, ₹150-250/kg for cream/filled).
