Run a tractor-and-harvester custom-hiring centre plus a small grain mill for Sangrur's rice-wheat smallholders, monetising both the mechanisation gap and the value-add demand on recurring rentals.

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-belt atom and the existing agro-processing MSME cluster, serving both rental and milling demand. CHC rentals give recurring revenue across the cropping calendar; the mill closes the wheat-and-paddy raw-grain-to-milled-packaged-staples gap for farmers who would otherwise sell raw at mandi rates. Buyers are a base of 80-150 local farmers for hiring, plus distributors and kirana buyers for packed staples. The honest constraints are sharp seasonal demand peaks (everyone needs the harvester in the same fortnight), maintenance and downtime discipline, idle-asset risk between seasons, and managing residue-burning-sensitive equipment scheduling. Start with the custom-hiring centre for steady cash flow and customer relationships, then add the processing line in year two.
