Besan, also known as gram flour, is one of the most popular food ingredients in India, extensively used in households, hotels, restaurants, sweet shops, and snack manufacturing units. The besan plant is designed to process raw chickpeas (chana) or split gram (chana dal) into fine flour through cleaning, dehusking, grinding, and sieving. The process begins with raw material cleaning and grading, followed by dehusking, splitting, and grinding into flour of different mesh sizes depending on the end use requirements. The final product is then packed in moisture proof packaging to ensure freshness. Besan is used in making a wide range of products like sweets (laddoos, barfi), snacks (bhujia, pakoras, sev), bakery items, and as a battering ingredient. With growing demand in domestic and export markets, setting up a besan manufacturing plant offers a profitable small to medium scale business opportunity with steady consumption throughout the year.
