Starting a potato chips manufacturing unit with a project cost of ₹2 Crore requires a bank-ready project report that demonstrates technical feasibility, financial viability, and compliance with government schemes. This report covers the entire project lifecycle—from raw material sourcing (potatoes from local mandis in Uttar Pradesh, Punjab, or Madhya Pradesh) to packaging and distribution. For a ₹2 Crore unit, the typical financing structure includes a promoter margin of ₹20 Lakh (10%) and a term loan of ₹1.80 Crore. At an interest rate of 11% per annum over 7 years, the monthly EMI works out to approximately ₹3,08,204. The report includes CMA (Credit Monitoring Arrangement) data, DSCR (Debt Service Coverage Ratio) analysis, and 5-year financial projections to assure lenders of repayment capacity. Key schemes like PMFME (Ministry of Food Processing Industries) offer 35% capital subsidy up to ₹1 Crore, while PMEGP provides margin money subsidy for new entrepreneurs. CGTMSE collateral-free coverage up to ₹2 Crore can be availed. This page details the project cost, subsidy eligibility, documents required, and step-by-step loan process for a potato chips unit under NIC code 10304.
The total project cost of ₹2 Crore is allocated as follows: Land and building (if not leased) ₹40 Lakh, plant and machinery (potato peeler, slicer, fryer, de-oiling, seasoning, packaging) ₹1.20 Crore, utilities (electrical, boiler, water treatment) ₹15 Lakh, pre-operative expenses (consultancy, registration, trial runs) ₹10 Lakh, and working capital margin ₹15 Lakh. Financing: Promoter contribution ₹20 Lakh (10%), term loan from bank ₹1.80 Crore (90%). Loan tenure: 7 years including 6-month moratorium. Interest rate: 11% (subject to credit score and scheme).

Indicatively ≈ ₹3,08,204/month on the ~₹1.80 Cr term-loan portion (at 11% over 7 years), with ~₹20 Lakh promoter margin. The report computes exact figures.
Banks typically expect ~10% margin — about ₹20 Lakh for a ₹2 Crore project — plus any scheme subsidy.
PMFME, PMEGP, CGTMSE fit this range. The report is configured to your chosen scheme.
The monthly EMI is approximately ₹3,08,204. This is calculated using the standard formula: P * r * (1+r)^n / ((1+r)^n - 1), where P=1,80,00,000, r=11%/12=0.009167, n=84 months. The EMI remains fixed for the tenure. Ensure your projected cash flows cover this amount with DSCR above 1.5.
Yes, PMFME (Pradhan Mantri Formalisation of Micro Food Processing Enterprises) provides 35% capital subsidy, up to ₹1 Crore, for micro food processing units. For a ₹2 Crore project, the subsidy would be ₹70 Lakh (35% of ₹2 Cr), reducing your loan burden. Eligibility: existing or new micro enterprises with FSSAI license. Apply online with DPR and land documents.
Under CGTMSE (Credit Guarantee Fund Trust for Micro and Small Enterprises), loans up to ₹2 Crore are collateral-free for micro and small enterprises. However, the bank may still ask for personal guarantee of promoters. If your unit is registered as MSME (Udyam), CGTMSE coverage applies. No third-party guarantee or property mortgage is needed.
Banks typically require a minimum Debt Service Coverage Ratio (DSCR) of 1.25 to 1.5. For a potato chips unit with stable demand, a DSCR of 1.5 is recommended. Your project report should show net operating income (after expenses) sufficient to cover EMI and interest. Include realistic production capacity (e.g., 500 kg per day), sales price (₹100-120 per kg), and operating costs.
