๐งช Step 3: Raw Materials Needed for Dishwash Liquid
Chemicals cost around ₹50–70/kg on IndiaMART in bulk (25kg bags/drums). For 100 liters of dishwash liquid, approx. cost ~₹2,000.
Key Ingredients (per 100 liters batch):
1. Acid Slurry (LABSA 90%) – 8–10 kg
2. Caustic Soda Flakes – 1–2 kg (neutralizer)
3. Soda Ash (sodium carbonate) – 2–3 kg
4. Sodium Silicate – 1–2 kg (for thickening)
5. Salt (NaCl) – 1 kg (stability)
6. Color + Perfume – few ml
7. Water – Main solvent
๐ Cost per liter of dishwash liquid = ₹20–25.
๐ Market Selling Price per liter = ₹60–100 (depending on branding & packaging).

๐ Step 4: Cost & Profit Calculation
Machine Investment: ₹35,000 (one-time).
Raw Material (50 kg = ₹2,500 for ~200 liters output).
Packaging (bottles @ ₹10 each): ₹2,000 for 200 bottles.
Total Cost for 200 liters batch (~200 bottles of 1 liter): ~₹4,500.
Selling Price:
Wholesale @ ₹50/bottle → Revenue = ₹10,000.
Retail @ ₹70/bottle → Revenue = ₹14,000.
๐ Profit per 200L batch = ₹5,000–₹9,000.
๐ If you sell 1,000 liters/month → Profit ₹25k–₹40k.
๐ To reach ₹3 Lakhs, you need to scale up monthly production (10,000 liters/year).
