Cups per Day to Break Even at ₹1.7 Lakh Diwali Offer
A simple cup-count view of rent, milk and 40–50% margins on a ₹1.7 lakh Diwali-offer Maa Ki Chai kiosk (regular ₹2 lakh).
Break-even is not a slogan. If rent is ₹15,000 and two staff cost ₹20,000, you need enough cups after 40–50% product margin to cover that plus gas and packaging.
Order-of-magnitude
Partners often cite 120–250 cups a day on a busy kiosk. High-traffic sites (250+ cups) commonly report 4–6 month payback; quieter sites 8–10 months. Use the on-site profit calculator with your rent and selling price — do not copy someone else’s city.
The ₹20,000–₹1,00,000 monthly profit range on our site is a range, not a promise. Footfall decides where you land.
What selling price should I model?
Use the local SOP price list after site approval. Do not race to the cheapest tapri rate if your rent is mall-grade.
