Are you planning to start a dal mill business with a ₹2 lakh loan? A bank-ready project report is your first step to secure funding under schemes like PMFME (PM Formalisation of Micro Food Processing Enterprises), PMEGP (Prime Minister’s Employment Generation Programme), or CGTMSE (Credit Guarantee Fund Trust for Micro and Small Enterprises). This page provides a detailed project report for a small-scale dal mill (NIC 10615) with a total project cost of ₹2,00,000. The report includes promoter margin of ₹20,000 (10%), term loan of ₹1,80,000, and an EMI of approximately ₹3,082 per month at 11% interest over 7 years. It covers CMA data, DSCR (Debt Service Coverage Ratio) analysis, and 5-year financial projections including profit & loss, balance sheet, and cash flow. Whether you are applying for a MUDRA loan or a subsidy under PMFME (up to 35% capital subsidy, max ₹10 lakh), this report helps you present a viable business case to banks. For a dal mill in a rural or semi-urban area, the project is feasible with low working capital needs. Use this template to prepare your loan application and understand the subsidy eligibility.
For a ₹2 lakh dal mill, the typical financing structure is: Promoter Contribution: ₹20,000 (10%), Term Loan: ₹1,80,000 (90%). The loan can be availed under PMEGP (subsidy of 15-35% based on category) or PMFME (35% capital subsidy, max ₹10 lakh). Under PMFME, the subsidy is back-ended, meaning you receive it after the project is set up. For CGTMSE, collateral-free loan up to ₹2 lakh is available without third-party guarantee. The term loan repayment period is 7 years with a moratorium of 6 months. EMI at 11% p.a. works out to ₹3,082 per month. Ensure your project report includes a detailed cost breakup: machinery (dal mill machine, motor, weighing scale, packaging material), installation, and preliminary expenses. The machinery cost for a small dal mill (capacity 50-100 kg/hr) is around ₹1.5 lakh, leaving ₹30,000 for other costs. Keep a buffer for working capital (raw material: chickpeas, lentils, etc.) which can be covered by a separate overdraft or cash credit limit.
To apply for a ₹2 lakh dal mill loan, you must be an Indian citizen aged 18+ with a viable business plan. For PMEGP, you need to have passed at least 8th standard (relaxable for rural areas). For PMFME, you should be an existing or new micro food processing entrepreneur. Documents required: Aadhaar card, PAN card, proof of address, business plan/project report (this one), quotation for machinery (from supplier), land documents (if owned or lease agreement), and bank statement for last 6 months. If applying under CGTMSE, no collateral is needed. For PMFME subsidy, you need to register on the PMFME portal and submit the project report along with DPR. The bank will check your credit score (ideally above 650) and repayment capacity. A CA-prepared CMA (Credit Monitoring Arrangement) data and DSCR above 1.25 are mandatory. Also, include your GST registration (if turnover exceeds ₹40 lakh) or Udyam registration.
1. Prepare a detailed project report (use this page as a template). 2. Determine the scheme: For subsidy, apply under PMFME (food processing) or PMEGP (general). For collateral-free loan, opt for CGTMSE. 3. Register on the respective portal: PMFME (pmfme.mofpi.gov.in) or PMEGP (kviconline.gov.in). 4. Approach a bank (Public Sector Banks like SBI, PNB, or Regional Rural Banks) with your project report. 5. Submit documents: ID proof, address proof, land documents, machinery quotations, and bank statement. 6. Bank will conduct a feasibility study and credit appraisal. 7. Once approved, sign the loan agreement and provide promoter contribution. 8. Disbursement: The loan amount is released directly to the machinery supplier or to your account. 9. Set up the dal mill, purchase raw material, and start operations. 10. Claim subsidy (if applicable) after project completion – for PMFME, you need to submit utilization certificate and audited financials. The entire process takes 4-8 weeks. Ensure you maintain a separate bank account for business transactions.

Indicatively ≈ ₹3,082/month on the ~₹1.8 Lakh term-loan portion (at 11% over 7 years), with ~₹20,000 promoter margin. The report computes exact figures.
Banks typically expect ~10% margin — about ₹20,000 for a ₹2 Lakh project — plus any scheme subsidy.
PMFME, PMEGP, CGTMSE fit this range. The report is configured to your chosen scheme.
The EMI is approximately ₹3,082 per month. This calculation assumes a flat interest rate of 11% per annum with a 7-year tenure. Some banks use reducing balance method, which may result in slightly lower EMI (around ₹3,050). Always confirm with your bank. The total interest payable over 7 years is about ₹78,888, making the total repayment ₹2,58,888.
Yes, under PMFME, you can get a capital subsidy of 35% of the project cost, subject to a maximum of ₹10 lakh. For a ₹2 lakh project, the subsidy is ₹70,000 (35% of 2 lakh). However, the subsidy is back-ended and released after the project is set up and operational. You need to apply through the PMFME portal and submit a detailed project report. The subsidy is available for new micro food processing units.
For a CGTMSE collateral-free loan up to ₹2 lakh, you need: Aadhaar card, PAN card, business address proof (rent agreement or utility bill), machinery quotations, project report, bank statement (last 6 months), and Udyam registration certificate. No collateral or third-party guarantee is required. The loan is processed quickly, usually within 2-3 weeks.
Yes, a small dal mill can be profitable. Assuming a capacity of 50 kg/hour and 8 hours of operation daily, you can process 400 kg of pulses per day. With a margin of ₹2-3 per kg (after deducting raw material cost, electricity, labor, and packaging), daily profit is ₹800-1,200. Monthly profit (25 working days) is ₹20,000-30,000. After deducting EMI of ₹3,082, net profit is around ₹17,000-27,000 per month. The payback period is 1-2 years. Ensure you have a reliable supply of raw material and market for finished product (local kirana stores, wholesalers).
