This unit makes tomato sauce, green chutneys and pickles. It sells bulk packs to restaurants, caterers and office canteens, and small jars to homes. Starting with bulk supply lets you sell on taste and steady quality before you spend money on a shop-shelf label.
NABARD's 2023-24 credit plan for Gurugram puts food and agro processing potential at ₹227.16 crore. It notes the district already has 83 grain units, 15 spice units and 34 cattle and poultry feed units, and wants more atta, tomato-sauce, matar, chutney and pickle lines because the district sits inside the NCR market. The same plan names tomato among the vegetables with strong scope in the district, so part of your supply can come from nearby farms.
You need an FSSAI food licence, a clean shed with a washable floor, a pulper, a steam kettle, filling and sealing machines, and basic checks for sourness and shelf life. The hard part is keeping taste and thickness the same batch after batch, and competing with large sauce brands in shops. Tomato prices swing sharply through the year, so plan your buying and pulp storage carefully.
Your first buyers are Gurgaon's restaurants, delivery-only kitchens, caterers and office cafeterias. Sample packs and dependable delivery win trial orders; housing society stalls and online orders can follow.
