About This Scheme

Starting a tomato ketchup and sauce manufacturing unit is a promising food processing venture in India, especially with government schemes like PMFME (Pradhan Mantri Formalisation of Micro Food Processing Enterprises), PMEGP, and CGTMSE providing capital subsidies and credit guarantees. For a project costing between ₹10 lakh and ₹50 lakh, a bank-ready project report is essential to secure a loan. This report typically includes CMA (Credit Monitoring Arrangement) data, Debt Service Coverage Ratio (DSCR) calculations, and 5-year financial projections (profit & loss, balance sheet, cash flow). It also details the technical aspects: raw material sourcing (tomatoes from local farmers), machinery (pulper, ketchup filling machine, sterilizer), and compliance with FSSAI and GST. Whether you're an entrepreneur in Maharashtra, Karnataka, or Uttar Pradesh, this page provides the exact cost breakdown, subsidy eligibility under PMFME (35% capital subsidy up to ₹10 lakh), and step-by-step guidance to create a project report that banks approve.

PMEGP offers margin money subsidy of 15-35% for projects up to ₹50 lakh. CGTMSE provides collateral-free loans up to ₹2 crore.

A typical 500 kg/day tomato ketchup unit costs around ₹25 lakh.

Financing: Bank loan 70-80% (₹17.5-20 lakh), promoter contribution 20-30% (₹5-7.5 lakh). Under PMFME, subsidy of ₹8.75 lakh (35% of ₹25 lakh) reduces the loan burden.
