    Starting a frozen fish tikka manufacturing unit involves several key steps, including setting up the

    infrastructure, complying with regulatory standards, sourcing raw materials, and developing a
    marketing strategy. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you get started:

    ### 1. **Market Research & Feasibility Study**

    - **Identify Target Market**: Assess the demand for frozen fish tikka in your region or export
    markets.

    - **Competitor Analysis**: Analyze competitors offering similar products to identify gaps you can
    fill.

    - **Consumer Preferences**: Study the preferences of your target consumers regarding flavors,
    portion sizes, and packaging.

    ### 2. **Business Plan Development**

    A well-structured business plan will help in acquiring funding and streamlining operations. Include:

    - **Executive Summary**

    - **Investment Requirements** (Capital cost, working capital, etc.)

    - **Production Plan** (Fish sourcing, processing method, packaging)

    - **Marketing Plan** (Target markets, distribution channels)

    - **Financial Projections**

    ### 3. **Location & Infrastructure**

    - **Factory Location**: Choose a location with good access to raw materials (fish), transportation,
    and markets.

    - **Setup**: Plan for cold storage, processing areas, freezing equipment, and packaging units.

    - **Licenses & Permits**: Obtain licenses such as FSSAI (Food Safety and Standards Authority of
    India), Pollution Control Board clearance, and any local permits.

    ### 4. **Machinery & Equipment**

    - **Fish Processing Equipment**: Select equipment for cleaning, filleting, and deboning fish.

    - **Marination and Mixing Equipment**: For preparing the tikka marinade.

    - **Blast Freezer**: To quickly freeze the fish tikka and maintain quality.

    - **Packaging Machines**: Vacuum sealing or modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) systems to


    extend shelf life.

    - **Cold Storage**: For storing the finished frozen products.


    ### 5. **Raw Material Sourcing**

    - **Fish**: Source fresh, high-quality fish from reliable suppliers.

    - **Marinades and Spices**: Work with a spice supplier to get the right balance of flavors.

    - **Packaging Materials**: Ensure packaging is suitable for frozen storage and transport.

    ### 6. **Manpower & Training**

    - Hire trained staff for fish processing, marination, freezing, and packaging.

    - Train staff in food safety practices, hygiene, and handling of frozen products.

    ### 7. **Product Development**

    - **Recipe Development**: Create a consistent and delicious fish tikka recipe that will hold up well
    when frozen.

    - **Quality Control**: Ensure that the product maintains taste, texture, and quality post-freezing.

    - **Shelf-Life Testing**: Test the product to ensure it retains its freshness and quality for the
    desired shelf life.

    ### 8. **Regulatory Compliance**

    - Ensure your products meet all food safety standards like FSSAI in India or FDA standards if you’re
    exporting.

    - Implement HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points) to ensure safety in your
    manufacturing process.

    - Comply with labeling regulations, including ingredients, nutrition facts, and storage instructions.

    ### 9. **Marketing & Distribution**

    - **Branding**: Develop strong branding, focusing on convenience, taste, and quality.

    - **Packaging**: Invest in attractive, durable packaging that appeals to consumers and is freezer-
    friendly.

    - **Distribution Channels**: Distribute through supermarkets, restaurants, and e-commerce


    platforms. You can also partner with cold chain distributors for national reach.

    - **Promotion**: Offer discounts, samples, or partner with food delivery services to promote your
    products.

    ### 10. **Funding Options**


    - Look for government schemes like the **Pradhan Mantri Formalisation of Micro food processing
    Enterprises (PMFME)** for financial assistance.

    - Explore bank loans, private investors, or venture capital funding if scaling the business on a large
    scale.

    ### 11. **Sustainability & Waste Management**

    - Ensure sustainable practices by sourcing fish responsibly.

    - Implement efficient waste management systems for by-products and unused fish parts.

    ### Estimated Investment

    - **Machinery**: ₹10-20 lakhs (depending on capacity)
