11 FAQs
Questions
How is milk procured?
Through collection centres and farmer networks set up during the project phase.
Can I start with fewer products?
Yes — many units start with paneer and curd and add products as procurement grows.
Are the investment figures final?
No. They are indicative / subject to project-specific assessment. Your figure depends on capacity, location, land and building, machinery choice and working capital.
What happens after I enquire?
A consultant calls you, understands your capital, location and experience, and shares the detailed profile. If it fits, the next step is a feasibility consultation.
