1.2 Objective
The primary obective of the model report is to facilitate the entrepreneurs in understanding
the importance of setting up unit of gram flour. This model report will serve as guidance to the
entrepreneurs on starting up such a new proect and basic technical knowledge for setting up
such a facility.
1.3 Raw Material Availability
The maor raw material re%uired is Gram splits &"al'. #adhya $radesh and nearby states of
#aharashtra and Guarat grow substantial %uantity of Gram splits.
The production of gram dal in the state in ())* + ), is (,.-* lakh #T. district wise production
in the state is given in the table below.

?FT4I, #ysore, can offer the technical knowBhow. ?ompliance under the $F1 1ct is
necessary. ?FT4I, #ysore, has developed a process and the promoters may like to seek
their help.
1.5.3 %apacit" of t$e &ro'ect
The total capacity of the unit is 2:() #t per annum.
1.5.4 (anufacturin) process
The process of manufacturing %uality gram flour involves four maor processes, as eCplained
below.
;liminate pebbles, broken grains and other impurities from Gram.
Based on physical properties of gram dal, remove other coloured
gram halves. Water content, if any, should be removed by drying to
maintain minimum 2( to 2*D moisture.
The gradual milling system should be adopted for milling and operation
consists of breaking, scalping and purification, reduction and dressing.
!ometimes, finished eCcellent flour &besan' is miCed to obtain a
standard and uniform desired properties, characteristics and colour.
The process is simple compared to wheat, rice, maiEe milling units.
