SHRIKHAND & MISHTI DAHI PLANT COST & SETUP GUIDE

One of the first questions every dairy entrepreneur asks is: what does a shrikhand & mishti dahi plant cost, and how do I set one up? The honest answer is that cost is driven by capacity, automation level and scope β€” not a single number. This guide breaks down what actually determines your investment, so you can plan realistically. ATMAN Group has delivered cultured-dairy lines from compact units to federation-scale plants since 2008.

What Drives Plant Cost

  • Capacity β€” a small line is a fraction of a high-volume commercial plant.
  • Chakka separation method β€” basket centrifuge (batch) vs quarg separator (continuous, higher capex).
  • Automation level β€” manual vs automated fermentation, blending, dosing and filling.
  • Packaging β€” cup/tub format and degree of automation.
  • Utilities & compliance β€” pasteurization, chilling, whey/effluent handling and FSSAI-grade construction.

Licences & Space You’ll Need

A shrikhand/mishti dahi unit needs FSSAI registration/licence, GST, and local pollution-control clearance (GPCB in Gujarat) for effluent. Space depends on capacity β€” a small unit fits a modest hall; commercial lines need dedicated processing, cold storage and utility areas. We assess your site and statutory requirements as part of project scoping.
