Families, caterers, housing societies and temple committees in Rohini need hundreds of plates for functions and bhandaras. Renting clean steel sets, bought from the district's own utensil makers, gives them a washable choice instead of throwaway plates and cups.

This business keeps a large stock of steel plates, bowls, glasses and spoons and rents them out for functions. You deliver clean sets in crates, collect them after the event, then wash, dry and count everything yourself. You charge per piece or per place setting, plus a fee for anything lost or bent.
Rohini, one of North West Delhi's three sub-divisions, is a big planned sub-city of government-built (DDA) flats and housing societies, with a steady run of weddings, birthdays, jagrans, bhandaras and society festivals. Much of this food is still served on throwaway plates. India banned plastic plates, cups and cutlery in July 2022, although paper and leaf plates are still allowed. Steel utensils are the district's One District One Product, so you can buy stock in bulk from makers close by.
You need a covered washing area with water and drainage, a commercial dishwasher or deep sinks, racks, crates, a small goods vehicle and dependable staff. The hard parts are hygiene, because one greasy plate loses a customer, and pieces that go missing, so count items at handover and take a deposit. Tent houses and caterers already rent utensils, and bookings dip outside the wedding and festival months.
Reach customers through resident welfare associations, caterers, banquet halls, and temple and gurdwara committees before big festival days.
