TUR DAL PLANT PROJECT REPORT

In India, a significant number of population are vegetarians and pulses are considered the main source of protein for them. Along with proteins, pulses are also a good source of carbohydrates, vitamins, minerals, fatty acids, dietary fibres etc. Consumption of pulses in 2020 increased in the retail channel despite COVID-19 induced lockdown and it is the large consumer base in India that represents a major driver for the pulses market. From a population of around 1.39 Billion as on April 2021, the Indian population is expected to exceed 1.5 Billion by 2030. This is expected to create a huge demand for food during the period, driving the consumption of pulses in the country. Additionally, apart from being the staple food for people, pulses have found applications in the food processing industry.

Pulses flour is considered to be healthier as compared to wheat flour and has been replacing the latter in making snacks and confectionary items to produce healthier food options for health-conscious consumers. Similarly, pulses are also being increasingly used in the ready to eat and snack food industry. As a result of increasing urbanisation and busy lifestyles, healthy ready-to-eat snack foods are becoming increasingly popular with consumers in the country. Accordingly, the demand for pulses will never end but will increase in an increasing rate with increase in population day by day in near future.
