While millers in other states have been able to sell their finished products at Rs 1,720 per quintal (mill delivery) in Gujarat, units in the state find it difficult to match the flour mill prices of finished products. “There is a need to have a uniform price of wheat for flour millers across the country. Also, there is inconsistency in FCI’s policies, which is hurting the interests of the wheat flour production line industry,” said Bhalchandani, who is also vice-president of the GRFMA. According to industry estimates, over 75 roller flour mills are situated in clusters across the state. Ahmedabad, Rajkot, Bhavnagar, Surat, Vadodara, Godhra and Dahod are some of the major clusters where rollerflour mills are located. Most units are medium-sized, with a capacity of about 40 tonnes per day. However, some are big, with a daily milling capacity of 100 tonnes. “The industry has an annual turnover of Rs 1,000-1,200 crore. But this financial year, we foresee huge losses for companies and the industry will be able to reach a turnover of only Rs 600-700 crore,” said Shroff. read more: /standalone-wheat-flour-machine/centrifugal-impactor.html
