Below listed are the important components related to setting up a Panipuri business:
To make Panipuri, you will need all-purpose flour, or what is called maida in common language and in addition to that, you will need water. You can easily buy these raw materials by going to your local market. If you want to buy in wholesale, you can contact a manufacturer or whole-seller—this will mean that you will get all-purpose flour or refined flour at a lower price. At present, the price of flour in the market is around rupees 20 to 30 per kilo, and maida is available at around rupees 60 to 70 per kilo. The rate may vary from region to region.
The machine used to make Panipuri is called Panipuri machine. Two machines are used to make Panipuri. One machine is a mixer machine to knead the dough, and the other one is required to make the Panipuri, which is dried.
The mixer machine used for making Panipuri is worth around Rs. 25,000 in the market and the other machine used for making Panipuri is priced in the market at a starting price of around Rs. 40,000. In total, this business can be started with machinery worth about Rs. 65,000.
You can buy this machine by contacting the wholesalers or retailers of the machine around your place or straight from the manufacturers of the machine. You can also visit the India-mart website, where you can find various machines listed on the website. You can even buy these machines from the website itself.
Here is the process of making Panipuri in detail. You can make Panipuri through the same machine.
First of all, you have to put maida or flour in the mixer machine according to your requirement.
After that, turn on the machine. Add a little bit of water according to the requirement.
Now, let the flour and water that you put inside the machine mix well.
When the dough is well kneaded, take it out. Just make sure that you do not have to add any more water while kneading the dough.
Also, make sure that your kneaded dough is not too wet.
Pour the dough into the Panipuri making machine to make Panipuri.
From this machine, the Panipuri will come out in a round shape like a Puri.
After that, fry the Puri in oil and later take it out. In this way, the puris are prepared and are ready to be sold in the market.
You will not need much space to run both of these machines. You can set both of these machines in a small room, i.e., the size of 10 X 15 sq feet. If you want to start this business on a large scale, you will need more space, and according to that you can manage and take another room in which you can keep your finished goods.
You can pack and supply Panipuri in plastic polythene bags. You can pack it in small plastic polythene and sell it to the retailer. For consumers, you can serve it using a plate. If you want to supply the same to a wholesaler, you can use big plastic polythene bags and accordingly supply it to the wholesalers.
You can make around 100 to 105 Panipuris using a total of 1 kilo of maida or all-purpose flour, and around 4,000 Panipuris can be prepared in 1 hour. To make 4,000 Panipuris, you will need around 40 kilos of maida.
If you talk about the total cost to start this business, the mixer machine and Panipuri making machine together are around Rs. 65,000 and along with that, you will need to get the raw materials.

This profit number is just an approximate value because the cost of production in every city, every village can vary, and profit margins can be more or less. Also, how much raw materials you put in the production of the Panipuris and how much you spent for buying the raw materials makes a lot of change in the profit values.
