Starting a flour mill under the Prime Minister’s Employment Generation Programme (PMEGP) is a popular choice for entrepreneurs in food processing. For NIC 10611 (Grain milling), a bank-ready project report is essential to secure the 25% subsidy (for general category) or 35% (for SC/ST/OBC/minorities/women/ex-servicemen). This page provides a practical guide for a flour mill project in the ₹2–25 lakh range, covering project cost, margin money, subsidy calculation, bank loan, and the required format. A proper project report includes CMA (Credit Monitoring Arrangement) data, Debt Service Coverage Ratio (DSCR), and 5-year financial projections. Without it, banks will not process your loan application. Whether you are in Delhi, Mumbai, or a small town, the same structure applies. Use this template to prepare your report and approach your local bank or KVIC office for PMEGP approval.
To apply for PMEGP flour mill subsidy, you must be an individual above 18 years, with at least 8th standard education (for projects above ₹10 lakh). There is no upper age limit. For projects costing ₹2–25 lakh, you need to contribute 5% margin money (general) or 10% (special categories). The remaining cost is financed by a bank loan (60–70%) and PMEGP subsidy (25–35%). The business must be a new unit; existing units are not eligible. Additionally, you should have a project report prepared by a qualified person (CA or consultant) and submit it to the District Industries Centre (DIC) or KVIC office.
A typical flour mill project cost for a 2–5 ton per day capacity ranges from ₹5–15 lakh. The cost includes machinery (grinder, pulverizer, sifter, packaging), electrical installation, working capital for 2 months, and preliminary expenses. For a ₹10 lakh project, margin money is ₹50,000 (5% general), bank loan ₹7 lakh (70%), and PMEGP subsidy ₹2.5 lakh (25%). For special categories, margin money is ₹1 lakh (10%), bank loan ₹6 lakh (60%), subsidy ₹3.5 lakh (35%). The subsidy is released in two instalments: 50% after loan disbursement and 50% after one year of operation. Ensure your project report includes a detailed cost breakup and DSCR above 1.5.
You need: (1) Project report in PMEGP format with CMA data and 5-year projections. (2) Land documents (lease/ownership) or rent agreement with NOC from owner. (3) Quotations for machinery from at least two suppliers. (4) Proof of identity (Aadhaar, PAN), address, and age. (5) Educational certificates (8th pass or higher).

For manufacturing units like a flour mill, the maximum project cost under PMEGP is ₹25 lakh. For service units, it is ₹10 lakh.

No, PMEGP only supports new projects. The machinery must be new and purchased from a registered dealer. Used machinery is not eligible for subsidy. The project should be a greenfield unit, not an expansion or takeover of an existing business.
After loan sanction and disbursement by the bank, the first instalment of subsidy (50%) is released within 30–45 days. The second instalment is released after one year of successful operation, upon submission of audited accounts and proof of repayment. Delays may occur if documents are incomplete.
Banks typically require a Debt Service Coverage Ratio (DSCR) of at least 1.5 for PMEGP projects. Your project report should show DSCR above 1.5 for all 5 years. Include calculations based on projected net profit, depreciation, interest, and principal repayment.
