Building on its earlier leading knowledge report “Foodgrain Warehouse Market in India 2025–2030”, PHDCCI has launched for the very first time, a ready-to-use financial pre-feasibility report and model for silo-based agriculture warehousing, translating market research insights into an actionable investment report for industry and policymakers.
India’s foodgrain production is projected to reach approximately 368 MMT by 2030–31, and while current storage capacity remaining lower, a quick response framework is needed to encourage investment in this industry. This integrated approach of converting market intelligence into actionable financial modelling positions this initiative as a first-of-its-kind industry toolkit related to agricultural logistics.
PHDCCI’s latest effort bridges a critical gap between market analysis and project execution. The newly released financial model takes this further and translates market opportunity into implementable market entry strategy with clear financial metrics.
The new report and model provides:
· A standardised project template that can be used by both investors and Government of India’s PPP initiative
· Detailed capex, opex, revenue, and financing structures
· Bankable projections of cash flows, returns, and debt servicing
This makes the report not just analytical—but directly usable for investment decisions, DPR (Detailed Project Feasibility Report) preparation, and financial closure. The report is backed by a financial model which is structured as a plug-and-play tool that helps investors to move quickly from concept to decision-making.
It also provides standardized financial inputs that can be directly used for bank financing proposals, public-private partnership (PPP) bids, and leveraging schemes such as the Agriculture Infrastructure Fund (AIF).
PHDCCI stated that this initiative represents a new approach to policy advocacy—moving beyond recommendations to execution-ready solutions by combining industry market research report with financial modelling, with the aim to catalyse faster project implementation, and greater private investment.
A technology-driven storage infrastructure is essential to support India’s transition toward a more efficient agricultural value chain to reduce wastage and creation of value added products both for domestic as well as export markets said Mr. Rajeev Juneja, President, PHDCCI.
