Starting a biscuit manufacturing unit under PMEGP (Prime Minister's Employment Generation Programme) is a viable option for entrepreneurs in food processing, classified under NIC 10712. For a project cost ranging from ₹10 lakh to ₹1 crore, a bank-ready project report is essential for loan approval and subsidy claim. This report must include CMA (Credit Monitoring Arrangement) data, DSCR (Debt Service Coverage Ratio) calculations, and 5-year financial projections covering production, sales, and profitability. A well-structured report demonstrates viability and helps secure up to 35% subsidy (for general category) from KVIC. This page provides a detailed format, eligibility criteria, cost breakdown, and documentation checklist tailored for biscuit manufacturing units, ensuring compliance with PMEGP guidelines and bank requirements.
Any individual above 18 years with at least 8th standard education (relaxable for SC/ST/OBC/PH/women/ex-servicemen) can apply. For biscuit manufacturing, no prior experience is mandatory, but food safety knowledge helps. Projects up to ₹50 lakh in manufacturing qualify for PMEGP; biscuit units up to ₹1 crore are covered. General category gets 25% subsidy (35% in NE/hilly areas); special categories get 35% (50% in NE/hilly). The promoter must contribute 10% margin money (5% for special categories). Units must be new; existing businesses are ineligible. Employment generation of at least 1 person per ₹5 lakh investment is expected.
For a biscuit manufacturing unit with capacity 500 kg/day, typical project cost is ₹25-30 lakh. Breakup: Plant & machinery (mixer, sheeter, moulder, oven, packaging) ₹12-15 lakh; building/renovation ₹5-8 lakh; working capital ₹3-5 lakh; pre-operative expenses ₹2 lakh. Under PMEGP, 25% subsidy (₹6.25 lakh for ₹25 lakh project) is back-ended. Bank loan covers 65% (₹16.25 lakh), promoter margin 10% (₹2.5 lakh). Loan repayment over 5-7 years at 9-11% interest. DSCR should be above 1.5. CMA data must show raw material cost (flour, sugar, fat) at 60% of sales, gross margin 35%.
Essential documents: Aadhaar, PAN, caste certificate (if applicable), education certificate, project report (with CMA, DSCR, projections), land/building documents (lease/ownership), quotation of machinery, electricity load approval, GST registration (if turnover > ₹40 lakh), FSSAI license (mandatory for food business), and bank statements of last 6 months. For partnership/company: partnership deed, MOA, AOA, board resolution. The project report must include detailed cost, production capacity (kg/day), raw material sourcing, manpower (skilled/unskilled), and marketing plan. Ensure all documents are self-attested and notarized where required.

For general category, subsidy is 25% of project cost (up to ₹50 lakh) and for special categories (SC/ST/OBC/PH/women/ex-servicemen) it is 35%. In NE and hilly states, subsidy is 35% (general) and 50% (special). Maximum subsidy amount is ₹17.5 lakh for general and ₹25 lakh for special categories.
No, PMEGP is only for new projects. Existing units are not eligible. However, if you are starting a separate new unit with a different legal entity (e.g., new proprietorship), you may apply. The project must be distinct and not an expansion of an existing business.
Banks usually require a minimum DSCR of 1.25 to 1.5. For biscuit manufacturing, with stable demand, DSCR of 1.5 is achievable. The project report should show net profit after tax covering at least 1.5 times the annual debt service (principal + interest).
After loan sanction and disbursement, the subsidy is released by KVIC in two installments: 50% after 50% disbursement of loan and 50% after full disbursement. Typically, it takes 3-6 months from loan disbursement. Ensure timely submission of utilization certificates and progress reports.
