Palwal sits on the NCR fringe (just south of Delhi) with farmers growing vegetables, fruits, and flowers for the Delhi market. Most produce moves through middlemen at distress prices. A small cold-storage facility plus a fresh-cut/ready-to-cook vegetable processing unit captures the value-add — selling cleaned, washed, ready-to-cook vegetable packs to Delhi-NCR D2C and HoReCa buyers.
Capex of 15-35 lakh covers a small cold storage (200-400 tonne), vegetable washer, cutting line, packing equipment, and refrigerated van. NABARD-AIF (Agriculture Infrastructure Fund) plus MIDH for horticulture infrastructure jointly fund up to 60% capex. Hard parts: cold-chain consistency, vegetable supply contracts, and building 5-10 anchor buyer accounts. Start with one product (cleaned vegetables); add ready-to-cook in year 2.
