Dimapur is Nagaland's commercial gateway and only railhead — every commodity moving in and out of the state passes through. A small cold-storage facility plus fruit processing serves the district's surrounding orchards and the state's distribution network.

Dimapur is Nagaland's most accessible district, with the only rail connection and the only sizeable airport. Goods flow in and out via Dimapur, but cold-chain infrastructure is thin. A small cold storage (200–400 tonne) plus a fruit processing line (juice, pulp, dried fruits) serves both: the surrounding districts' fruit crop (orange, pineapple, kiwi) needs storage and processing; the state distribution network needs cold logistics for FMCG and processed food. The location advantage is structural.
Capex of ₹18–40 lakh covers a small cold room, fruit processing line, packing area, and 6 months of working capital. NABARD-AIF supports cold storage at 3% concessional interest; MIDH covers fruit-processing infrastructure. Hard parts: power reliability (Dimapur has frequent outages — diesel backup is mandatory), refrigerated transport for last-mile, and building 8–10 anchor customer accounts. The cold-storage rental is the steady revenue; processing is the upside.
