I visited Sheikhpura district a few days ago and learned something interesting... It produces onions that are in high demand esp in neighbouring countries like Pakistan and Bangladesh, where non veg food is quite popular.
The onions grown in Sheikhpura are known for their reddish colour, distinct strong taste & medium size.
A few years ago, I travelled to Bhavnagar in Gujarat for a friend’s wedding. She often mentioned that her father was a businessman... but never told that the family was involved in the onion business. They owned a few factories related to onion dehydration.
Mahuva, a town in Bhavnagar, is famous as the “Onion Dehydration Hub of India”. This place is the global hub of supplying processed onion products, particularly to Europe, USA & Middle East.
The industries there are involved in producing dehydrated onion (flakes and powder), fried onions, onion kibbles /chips, onion powder and granules, pickled onions and so on. This small place contributes approx 80-90% of India’s total dehydrated onion production.
In contrast, farmers in Bihar mainly sell fresh onions, which often face unpredictable price changes. There is a clear opportunity for new onion dehydration projects here. There exists a ready market.
The B2B market is massive... Instant noodle tastemakers, spice blends, ready-to-eat meals, fast food chains (for pizza toppings & sauces) prefer flakes/powder for consistency and ease of storage.
Starting such a business is not very difficult... Requires modest investment. Financial/banking support is available through govt schemes like PMFME & PMEGP for small units... Large units will get incentives and support under Bihar Industrial Investment Promotion Package 2025 (BIPPP 2025).

We’re giving 30-day industry approval via SIPB. BIADA giving Land. DIC processing files. But units can’t start because banks won’t lend where they take deposits.
This is not Ease of doing Business. This is ‘Ease of Taking Deposits, Denying Credit’.
Bihar’s money for Bihar’s Growth.
#creditsepostratio #MakeinBihar #viksitBihar
A timely warning… National banks in Bihar are hoarding deposits but hesitating to lend, and in doing so, they are stalling the very economic growth they are meant to fuel.
बिहार में औद्योगिक निवेश का नया अध्याय शुरू हो चुका है। राज्य निवेश प्रोत्साहन बोर्ड (SIPB) की 67वीं बैठक में मुजफ्फरपुर और किशनगंज में डालमिया और अंबुजा सीमेंट की बड़ी इकाइयों को स्वीकृति दी गई है।
साथ ही 16 परियोजनाओं को स्टेज-1 क्लीयरेंस और 4 परियोजनाओं को वित्तीय मंजूरी मिली है। सीमांचल के युवाओं को अब रोजगार के लिए घर छोड़ने की जरूरत नहीं, उद्योग खुद उनके द्वार तक आ रहे हैं।
बिहार बदल रहा है, क्योंकि हमारा संकल्प अटल है, विकसित बिहार, समृद्ध बिहार।
#NewBihar
बिहार को फूड प्रोसेसिंग का राष्ट्रीय केंद्र बनाने की दिशा में एक ऐतिहासिक कदम उठाया गया है। वैशाली जिले के हाजीपुर में देश के तीसरे NIFTEM — राष्ट्रीय खाद्य प्रौद्योगिकी, उद्यमिता एवं प्रबंधन संस्थान की स्थापना को मंजूरी दी गई है, जो 100 एकड़ में विकसित होगा।
यह संस्थान खाद्य प्रसंस्करण, रिसर्च, तकनीकी शिक्षा और उद्यमिता को नई ऊंचाई देगा और हमारे किसानों, युवाओं और उद्यमियों के लिए नए अवसरों के द्वार खोलेगा।
NDA सरकार का संकल्प स्पष्ट है, नए अवसर, नई रफ्तार, समृद्ध बिहार।

This is exactly where DIC handholding helps: We're trying up farmers through FPOs for assured quantity at sustainable price + facilitating working capital via Bihar Startup Fund + Export linkage under CEPA.
Sheikhpura's 1.2 Lakh MT + Govt support makes 20TPD units viable.
@SujatRahil 1.2MT = 1.2 million tons?
If yes, then its okay.
As dehydration follows a 1:10 ratio
I.e. 10 kg onion will yield 1kg powder.
PS - onion needs to be at max ₹4-6/kg in peak season for the unit to be viable.
As this is a highly seasonal, high cashflow industry.

I am still looking for an industrial shed or space for a factory in Bihar Sharif. BIADA doesn't have any space for the same.
Kindly share any reference contacts in Nalanda or Bihar Shrif.
Also, looking for hiring managers.
Young people , eager to learn the SOP of the factory.
Interested, DM me for an interview.
