Starting a tomato ketchup manufacturing unit under the Prime Minister's Employment Generation Programme (PMEGP) is a viable opportunity for entrepreneurs in the food processing sector. This project report is tailored for a unit with a project cost between ₹10 Lakh and ₹50 Lakh, classified under NIC 10301 (Processing and preserving of fruit and vegetables). A bank-ready project report is crucial for securing PMEGP subsidy and term loans. It includes detailed CMA (Credit Monitoring Arrangement) data, Debt Service Coverage Ratio (DSCR) calculations, and 5-year financial projections covering production, sales, profit, and cash flow. The report also outlines working capital requirements, machinery specifications, and raw material sourcing for tomato ketchup. With PMEGP providing subsidy of 25-35% of the project cost (up to ₹50 Lakh for manufacturing), this report helps you approach banks like SBI, PNB, or Canara Bank with confidence. It ensures compliance with KVIC guidelines and improves loan approval chances.
Any individual above 18 years with at least 8th standard education can apply. For manufacturing units, the project cost must be between ₹10 Lakh and ₹50 Lakh. There is no upper age limit, but preference is given to entrepreneurs from SC/ST/OBC/minorities/women/ex-servicemen. The unit must be new (not a takeover or expansion). Existing units or those who have availed subsidy under other government schemes are not eligible. A project report is mandatory for bank loan processing.
For a tomato ketchup unit with project cost ₹25 Lakh (example), the financing is: 25% subsidy from PMEGP (₹6.25 Lakh), 10% promoter contribution (₹2.5 Lakh), and 65% term loan from bank (₹16.25 Lakh). The subsidy is released by KVIC after loan disbursement. Typical components: land & building (₹5 Lakh), machinery (₹12 Lakh – includes pulper, ketchup filling machine, sealing machine, boiler), working capital (₹6 Lakh), and preliminary expenses (₹2 Lakh). Machinery should be purchased from approved vendors listed by KVIC.

For manufacturing units like tomato ketchup, the subsidy is 25% of the project cost for general category (up to ₹50 Lakh project cost). For special categories (SC/ST/OBC/minorities/women/ex-servicemen/physically handicapped/NER/Himalayan regions), it is 35%. The subsidy is capped at ₹17.5 Lakh for general and ₹24.5 Lakh for special categories.
Under PMEGP, loans up to ₹10 Lakh are collateral-free. For projects above ₹10 Lakh up to ₹50 Lakh, collateral/third-party guarantee may be required as per bank policy. However, CGTMSE coverage is available for loans up to ₹2 Crore, which may reduce collateral requirement. Check with your bank for specific terms.
After the bank sanctions and disburses the loan, the subsidy is released by KVIC in 2-3 installments. Typically, the first installment (50% of subsidy) is released within 60 days of loan disbursement, and the remaining after verification of unit setup. The entire process may take 4-6 months from loan sanction.
Essential machinery: Tomato pulper (capacity 500 kg/hr), stainless steel cooking kettle (200 L), ketchup filling machine (semi-automatic), bottle sealing machine, boiler (for heating), and storage tanks. For a ₹25 Lakh project, machinery cost is around ₹12 Lakh. Ensure to get quotations from at least 3 suppliers for bank approval.
