Food Truck business is a very famous and a growing business in today’s time. With good
food truck business plan in India you can acquire good return on investment in very short
interval of time. Almost every country over the world is following the trend of mobile food
business. The famous restaurants around the world has started this mobile food business
business so that they can make their business grow in every part of the city.
Especially in the countries like the United States, China, Australia, England has a large
number of food trucks as compared to some other cities in the world. Now talking about
India a clutch of entrepreneurs is doing a good business rustling up wholesome dishes in
vehicles. They take their food on the street and attract people for the Indian cuisine and
helping them turn their backs on the junk food.
In Indian cities like Bangalore, Delhi, and Hyderabad you will notice that many food trucks
in this cities provides Chinese food because of less hurdle in cooking and good profits, Many
food truck in Bangalore serve north Indian dishes because of vast group of people has
flooded from north India to start their career. If you are planning for food truck business in
Bangalore, Chennai, Delhi, Mumbai and Hyderabad then there is lot of potential money that
can be make from this business in very short period of time.
As far as the investment required is concerned, you can have it set up around 5-10 lac in
cities like Bangalore and Delhi. This much amount of capital will be enough to start this
business in almost every city of India.
Food Truck Vehicle – You already know that the mobile food vehicle has some different
interior and it is not similar to regular vehicle that we see on roads in India. You need to
contact a food truck manufacturers in you city from where you can have it built according to
your requirement. Installing a mobile kitchen in vehicle will not cost you much. Thing to
consider in mind is that you should have to go with bigger vehicle like Traveller Bus which is
generally used as office cab service.
Installation of Mobile Kitchen In Truck – You can get the kitchen installed with the help
of local manufactures or you can buy fully ready made food truck vehicle. It will be cheaper
for you if you go for installation of kitchen by yourself.
In order to start you first need to have proper license for it.
First you need to get Food Business Operating License from FSSAI (Food Safety
& Standards Authority of India).
Another license you require is Eating House License provided by the Licensing
Police Commissioner in your city.
License from Fire Department in your city to ensure the compliance of all fire safety
guidelines.
You also have to get a Commercial Vehicle License from RTO in your city.
If you do not have Food Business Operating License then you need to get a shop and
establishment license from FSSAI India.
Insurance for the vehicle and mobile kitchen equipments.
The first question that comes to our mind when we think of this business is how to begin
this business and what are the special requirements for it. In the beginning, it will have
some small influence radius, but in near time it will help to earn more by reinvesting the
revenues into the business growth. The business is sure to get good response within one
year and can generate good net income with in one year of establishment.
But there are certain things that you need to keep in mind before starting the
business:-
The above mentioned point plays a very important role when you think to start the
food truck business in India. Many businesses in India run, on credit system, but in this
business it is a bit tricky. The choice of your food menu will decide your target market
like the age, veg/non-veg, special dietary needs and many other things. It is a type of
business that needs a more practical approach than the theoretical research. Once your
brand name is flourished you can start your business at the other places.

Hi,
I wanted to know whether is it possible to run more than one food truck under the
same brand name at different parts of the city.
And thanks for sharing the above information.Will kindly be waiting for your reply!!

Apart from above separate formalities for each food truck, below are some
process which is combined for all trucks:-
1- License from food & drugs administration (Only one required in the
name of your brand name)
2 -Sales tax
4 -Service tax registration(in the name of your brand)
5 -You need to pay Income tax for revenue generated from all the trucks
combined, obviously!!
Thanks

Hi,
Thanks for all the information. It helped a lot.
I was thinking to start a food van and the idea that I have is to serve multi cuisines
like rolls, a bit of Chinese, pastas and some Indian food verity too plus some mock
tails as well. So if I start it in Delhi nearby some co-operate office, what are the
suggestions that you have for the points below:
1. What is your opinion for the the idea of multi cuisine, Do you think it will work?
Or should I start with a small menu and then go for the other things one by one
according to the requirements and surveys.
2. Should I get a big van to start with or should I start with a comparatively small
van and then get into it according to the profits. Because I would like to go beg
term eventually.
3. Where to look for good chiefs and the reliable ones, if you have any in mind in
Delhi please suggest.
4. I am not from Delhi, so will it be difficult for me to get all the licence for all the
required things? Any suggestions for the same will help too.
5. Is Delhi a good place to go for it because I have two options Delhi or Jaipur. So
which one would you suggest?
