India's ready-to-eat market is scaling fast, driven by urbanization and food-service growth — the domestic RTE segment alone was valued around $0.9B in 2024. For export, retort pouch technology (shelf-stable at room temperature for 12–18 months) is what makes Indian RTE meals viable to ship globally without a cold chain.
