Why Millet Processing Tech Needs RAPID INNOVATION India’s millet moment has arrived. But beneath the surface of this nutritious grain’s resurgence lie critical operational roadblocks that innovators are quietly solving. From inconsistent flour textures and machine incompatibility to the lack of millet-specific equipment and fragmented supply chains, manufacturers and startups are pushing boundaries in formulation science, pre-processing, and tech adaptation. With India accounting for over 38.4 per cent of global millet production, and the value of the country’s millet-based packaged food product market projected to cross Rs 763 crore by 2030, the pressure is on to make millets work at scale. But turning this ancient grain into modernready mixes, baked goods, or extruded snacks isn’t as simple as swapping out wheat. It requires custom-engineered flour blends, new food machinery, and resilient sourcing strategies the behind-the-scenes innovation that’s quietly powering the millet revolution.
