Thoiba grew up seeing a few hens in the garden of his family home in Thoubal. Now he wants to convert that into a proper business, a 500-bird grill batch which he can sell into the Imphal market. The demand is there. Chicken moves fast in Manipur and traders pay well. But even a small unit needs money up front: a simple shed, chicks at INR 35 to 50 each, feed, and vaccines, all before the first bird is ready. His savings run short by about INR 40,000. Instead of shelving the idea, he pledges a gold chain for a Gold Loan and gets the batch started. That upfront squeeze is where most first-timers stall, and this guide on how to start a poultry farm business in Manipur covers the way through it. The breed to choose. What a starter unit costs. The licences you need. The subsidies worth applying for. And how the funding fits together, with IIFL Finance covered later in the money section.

A shed, chicks at Rs. 35 to 50 each, feed and vaccines, all before the first sale. Her savings cover part of it, not all. Rather than wait, she pledges a pair of gold earrings for a Gold Loan and gets the first batch going.
