A pack house that buys fresh catch at Alibag, Murud and Shrivardhan landing points and runs it through IQF freezing, glazing and vacuum packing into retail and HoReCa SKUs. This builds directly on the district's Konkan coast fisheries, and captures the raw catch → frozen & vacuum-packed seafood gap that today leaks margin to traders who ship un-graded ice-boxes to the Mumbai mandi. The edge is geography: Navi Mumbai, Panvel and the Mumbai metro are inside a few hours by road, so cold-chain to a high-paying urban market is short and the JNPT port keeps an export option open later. The honest constraint is cold-chain discipline — IQF needs uninterrupted -18°C from freezer to delivery van, FSSAI and a HACCP plan are mandatory, and a single thawed consignment burns a retail account. Landings are seasonal and trawler-ban months squeeze supply, so working capital must carry the lean quarter. Buyers: Mumbai supermarket chains, cloud-kitchen and restaurant aggregators, and seafood D2C brands needing graded, traceable Konkan-origin stock.
