Sangrur custom-hiring centre and grain-processing service

Sangrur has Punjab's intensive rice-wheat rotation with cotton and vegetables, but smallholders face mechanisation gaps and lack nearby value-add infrastructure. This is a combined custom-hiring centre (CHC) — tractors, combine harvesters, threshers, happy seeders, small implements — plus a small grain mill and packing line. It builds on the district's wheat, paddy and oilseed farming and the existing cluster of small agro-processing firms, serving both rental and milling demand. CHC rentals give recurring revenue across the cropping calendar; the mill turns local wheat and paddy into milled, packed staples for farmers who would otherwise sell raw grain at mandi rates. Buyers are a base of 80-150 local farmers for hiring, plus distributors and kirana buyers for packed staples. The hard parts are sharp seasonal demand peaks (everyone needs the harvester in the same fortnight), keeping machines maintained and running, idle machines between seasons, and careful equipment scheduling around residue burning. Start with the custom-hiring centre for steady cash flow and customer relationships, then add the processing line in year two.
