It’s no need to say that we all love the road-side junkie food rather than those
multi-cuisine restaurants over priced menus. Because, in India both the taste and
cost matters a lot. May be that’s why a bunch of young city-based food
entrepreneurs have started this popular food trend – the Food Truck – right here in
the nation’s capital, Delhi.

What are these Food Trucks ?
If you have ever gone abroad, you would know these Food Trucks by now,
because they are pretty popular in those Western countries. Even, in our own
place, we daily see a lot of food-makers pushing a food-cart on four wheels, to the
roadside and start serving hot and spicy junk food. Of course, we eat their daily too.
This food truck concept is similar, but with a broader scope for healthy food and
wide area of service. These have the whole kitchen, storage and dining equipment
in one single truck that travels to the customers. Gaurav Gianchandani, says,
“There’s a difference between Chinese food vans and a specialty food truck
serving hygienic and quality fast food.”
These food trucks also won’t charge much for the food, as our roadside-foodlovers won’t be paying high-end prices. But what we can expect from them is the
tasty,hygiene and quality food at affordable rates.
Where can you find them ?
As you know, these are trucks. Mobile Restaurants. They don’t stay at a place, but
can be tracked within an area. Social network is the best place to find their menus
and calendars. Vikrant Misra, founder of Eggjactly, a truck which serves Belgian
pancakes and cinnamon crepes, says, “People find our locations through tweets
and Facebook Pages. It’s time to have own Apps soon.”
Here are some social links to some of the food trucks currently operational in India.

were kids !), made from natural fruits, are preservative-free and in a variety of

Though this budding business trend may look cool and profitable, it has its own
constraints too. For the unknown reason, these Food Trucks are not properly
treated at our courts. There are yet no clear rules and regulations pertaining to the
business. Pallavi Kuchroo, co-founder Frugurpop, a dessert truck, says, “We have
all the mandatory FSSAI licenses but in the absence of clear laws, we have to park
the truck at corporate houses or parks after ‘greasing’ the authorities palms.”
“As this thing is totally new to India, it’s pretty difficult to explain the concept to the
local police and authorities. Even though we have all the required permissions,
they don’t know what is required to check for this kind of business. And in Delhi, it’s
much more strict. We are now thinking of forming Food Truck Associations to deal
with the government.” Says Karan Malik from Super Sucker.
How can we start one ?
If you want to find one, it would be easier ! As told above, nothing is yet clear how
to start this business without any legal problems. Even though the profit rates and
flexibility itch us to start our own food truck, it’s better to wait until the
governments decide something on it. But for now, these are the basic and
common arrangements to be made to start your own Food Truck with a catchy
name.
A commercial vehicle license from the RTO.
Food Business Operating License (FSSAI License)from FSSAI (Food Safety & Standards
Authority of India). You would require individual licenses from FSSAI for the Delivery
Boys/Vehicle.
A shop and establishment license (this varies across states).
Separately, depending on the commercial construct (e.g. partnership), relevant paperwork
from Ministry of Corporate Affairs.
Eating house license : This is provided by Licensing Police Commissioner of that city.
Clearance from Fire Department. You have to ensure the compliance of all the fire safety
guidelines.
Every business, along with those success stories, also have failure stories too. That
is how a business world works. One such example of this Food Truck business
failure is Awestruck. With declining profits and increasing regulatory issues,
Awestruck opened an Italian restaurant in Gurgaon last month. Even Sagar Singh
switched from food truck to starting a business that supplies and delivers food
trucks into Indian cities. “Apart from all these legal permit issues, if you manage it
properly, you can make ₹50,000-60,000 a day,” said Singh.
