Sirmaur (Sirmour) district produces substantial ginger crops plus has long traditions of fruit-and-grain country liquors. A combined unit running ginger processing (drying, milling, oil extraction) plus a small craft distillery producing fruit brandies and grain spirits captures two distinct streams. Ginger value-add reaches the export-grade spice market; craft distillery serves both HP regional retail and growing premium beverage demand.
Capex of 18-35 lakh covers ginger processing equipment plus a small certified distillery setup. PMFME (food processing) and HPMC's beverage and agro-processing schemes jointly fund up to 50% capex. Hard parts: HP's complex liquor licensing, ginger curcumin retention through processing, and managing two distinct operating models. Start with ginger processing (faster to launch, no licensing complexity); craft distillery in year 2 once licensed.
