1. INTRODUCTION
Atta generally as it is known is the flour of
wheat used to make most food items in India, such as
chapatti, roti, naan and puri. Most atta is milled from
the semi-hard wheat varieties, also known as durum
wheat that comprises 90% of the Indian wheat crop,
and is more precisely called Durum Atta.
Hard wheat have a high content of gluten (a
protein composite that gives elasticity), so doughs
made out of atta flour are strong and can be rolled out
very thin. Indian wheat are mostly Durum wheat,
which are high in protein but less in "bread forming
gluten" so the bread when baked with this flour does
not rise as well and tend to be dense.
Atta is the Hindi or Urdu word for dough; it is used by metonymy to mean
"flour used for baking". Atta refers to the pulverized whole wheat with brownish
white color. In India common term used for atta is "chakki atta" which is mostly used
in rural areas. Chakki atta is ground wheat without any additions or subtractions,
and is thus in more natural form. The word Chakki derives its meaning from
traditional Indian way of grinding wheat in between two stone plates modern day
flour mills use stone crushers in the flour milling process.

2. MARKET POTENTIAL
Wheat Flour or Atta is the predominantly used in food items in India, such as
chapatti, roti, naan and puri and in sweat items too like halwa, pakoda, etc. Owing
to the public distribution system providing whole wheat which has to be grounded
and also purchasing wheat from open market and grinding it will be cheaper than
the flour available in market and we have the option to grind it to the consistency
required. These advantages generate a huge market potential for Mini Wheat Flour
Mill.
