Ferozepur has Punjab's classic basmati rice belt plus borders Pakistan with the historically-significant Hussainiwala border crossing (where Bhagat Singh and other freedom fighters were cremated). A combined operator running a small basmati rice mill (parboiling, polishing, sortex grading, branded retail packs) plus a heritage-and-border tourism service (martyrs' memorial tours, retreat ceremony coordination) captures both streams.
Capex of 18-40 lakh covers rice-mill equipment, vehicle for tours, accommodation/transport, and 6 months of working capital. NABARD-AIF (Agriculture Infrastructure Fund) plus Punjab Tourism's border-tourism scheme fund the build. Hard parts: managing two distinct operating models, basmati supply contracts, and building tourism distribution. Start with rice mill (recurring B2B revenue); tourism in year 2.
