What is a commercial roti making machine?
A commercial roti making machine replaces hand rolling and tawa cooking with a repeatable process. Some machines press a dough ball between heated plates, and an operator finishes the roti over a flame. Fully automatic machines shape the dough, cut rounds and carry them through an oven, usually gas-fired, in several passes that roast each side and then puff the roti. Larger plants add a dough mixer at the start and cooling, stacking and packing at the end. Output depends on roti size and thickness, so makers publish a range for each model. Hotels, caterers, institutional kitchens and packaged roti makers buy these machines to serve many people on time with steady quality.
This page covers commercial and industrial roti and chapati machines for hotels, caterers, institutional kitchens and plants; household roti makers are not covered.
How diipl verifies roti making machine manufacturers
diipl checks every roti making machine manufacturer before a buyer meets them. Every seller is GSTIN verified and capacity audited. IEC and the certifications your product and market need (ISO, CE, REACH, BIS) are confirmed before any meeting; Certificate of Origin and EIC inspection are arranged per shipment where required.
For roti making machines, the capacity audit also covers:
- A timed test run at rated output using the buyer's own dough, counting finished puffed rotis rather than pressed discs
- Roti size, weight and thickness held steady across the run, checked with a scale and a gauge
- Gas train inspection: burners, regulator and automatic cut-off valve fitted and working
- Contact parts and baking surfaces checked for food-grade stainless steel and an intact non-stick or ceramic coating
- Frame, conveyor and weld quality, plus a power-on trial of the electrical panel and temperature controls
We match your requirement to a manufacturer that has passed these checks and arrange a direct meeting.
Types of roti making machines we cover
Indian roti making machine manufacturers on the diipl bench build these commercial and industrial types.
| Type | Typical buyers |
|---|---|
| Semi-automatic roti machine with manual roasting | Hotels, restaurants and hostels |
| Foot-operated roti press | Hotels, restaurants and hostels |
| Conveyor roasting and puffing oven | Central kitchens, large caterers and institutional kitchens |
| Fully automatic conveyor chapati machine | Hospitals, schools and college hostels, industrial canteens and langars |
| Chapati production line (dough ball to packed roti) | Packaged roti and flatbread plants |
Semi-automatic roti machine with manual roasting
A dough ball is placed between two heated non-stick plates and pressed. The half-cooked roti slides out, and the operator finishes it over a flame so it puffs. One maker lists plate heating by a 1.5 kW electric element and output of 800 to 1000 per hour as a guideline that depends on the operator. It suits kitchens that want even size and thickness without a large floor area.
Foot-operated roti press
A foot pedal lowers the upper plate onto a dough ball held between two non-stick plates, and heat from both sides cooks the roti. The operator then holds it over a flame so it puffs, so output depends on the operator. One maker heats the lower plate with LPG and the upper plate with an electric heater. Choose it for a small commercial kitchen that wants even rotis without a full line.
Conveyor roasting and puffing oven
A gas-fired conveyor oven takes cut or pressed roti discs, roasts both sides and puffs them over direct flame in the last pass. One continuous machine designed by a government food research institute uses three tiers, with ribbon burners under the first two and direct flame on the third, at about 3 kg of LPG per hour for 600 to 800 chapatis per hour.
Fully automatic conveyor chapati machine
Dough is fed to a hopper and pressed into a sheet between gauged rollers. A rotary cutter cuts rounds, and scrap goes back to the hopper. A food-grade conveyor then carries the rounds through a three-pass oven that roasts each side and then puffs the roti. One maker lists models at 1000, 2000 and 3000 per hour, heated by LPG or PNG.
Chapati production line (dough ball to packed roti)
A turnkey line sieves flour and mixes dough, heat-presses divided dough balls into even wrappers, bakes them in a tunnel oven, then cools and stacks them in set counts. Sealing and packing machines and an X-ray check for foreign objects can be added. One published line is rated at up to 3600 pieces per hour for an 80 g roti.
What to specify when buying a roti making machine
A clear roti making machine specification gets you comparable offers and a faster meeting. Share these points with diipl and we match them to the right manufacturer.
| What to specify | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Rated output per hour (finished rotis) | One full line is rated at up to 3600 per hour for an 80 g roti, while press units are rated far lower. Ask whether the figure counts pressed discs or finished, puffed rotis, and at which roti weight. |
| Roti diameter, weight and thickness range | One press maker lists 112 to 160 mm, 25 to 45 g and 1.5 to 2.5 mm. Output and settings change with size, so state the roti you actually serve. |
| Dough feed method (dough balls or a continuous dough sheet) | Press types take pre-divided dough balls. Sheeter types take a continuous dough mass and cut rounds. This decides your dough room work, dividing labour and scrap handling. |
| Heating fuel (LPG, PNG or electric) and gas use per hour | One continuous machine designed by a government food research institute uses about 3 kg of LPG per hour for 600 to 800 rotis per hour. Fuel choice sets site approvals, running expense and safety fittings. |
| Electrical load, phase, voltage and frequency | One maker offers 110, 220, 380 or 415 volts, 50 or 60 Hz, single or three phase. Confirm that the motor, panel and heaters match your site supply. |
| Number of oven passes and puffing method | A three-pass oven roasts one side, then the other, then puffs. A press with manual finishing puffs over an operator's flame. This affects how much labour and skill the line needs. |
| Contact-part material and plate coating | Makers describe non-stick coated plates and stainless steel frames, and one says all contacting parts are food grade. Ask for the steel grade, the coating type and its supplier, because these touch the dough and the roti. |
| Gas safety fittings (automatic cut-off valve, flame failure) | Ask which fitting stops the gas if a flame goes out, whether an automatic cut-off valve is fitted, and who tests the gas train at commissioning. Gas-fired models need these checks before use. |
| Floor space and height | One maker lists conveyor models needing about 15 ft by 3 ft by 5 ft for 1000 per hour, and wider for larger models. Check space for the dough room, the oven line and service access. |
| Operators needed and operator dependence of output | Makers state that output of press types depends on operator efficiency. Ask how many operators each shift needs and what skill they must have, so you can plan labour and training. |
| Scrap dough recovery and daily cleaning access | Sheeter types return cut-off dough to the hopper. Ask how fast belts, rollers and plates can be removed and cleaned between shifts, because hygiene time reduces the output you actually get. |
| Cooling, stacking and packing interface for plants | A published line cools and stacks rotis in set counts before sealing and packing. If you pack for sale, specify the cooling length, stack count and packing machine hand-off. |
| Wear parts and spares list | Heating elements, burners, belts, rollers and coated plates wear with use. Ask for a recommended spares list and how quickly the maker can ship each item. |

HSN code and ITC-HS code for roti making machines
The code for roti making machines depends on the design of the machine, mainly whether it mixes or kneads dough, rolls dough into a sheet, bakes the dough, or cooks it on hot plates, and whether the baking heat comes from gas or from electricity. Choose the line that matches your machine:
- 84381010 (bakery machinery) when the machine only mixes or kneads bakery dough and does not roll the dough between rollers or cook it.
- 84201000 (calendering or other rolling machines) when the machine is a dough sheeter that rolls the dough into a sheet between two or more rollers.
- 84172000 (bakery ovens, including biscuit ovens) when the machine is an industrial baking oven that is gas fired or heated in another way that is not electric, and it is sold without a dough forming section.
- 85141900 (other, within subheading 851419: furnaces and ovens; electric, for industrial or laboratory use, resistance heated; other than hot isostatic presses, for the manufacture of semiconductor devices on semiconductor wafers) when the machine is an industrial baking oven that is electrically heated with resistance elements, and it is sold without a dough forming section.
- 841981 (machinery, plant and equipment; for making hot drinks, for cooking or heating food) when the machine is a commercial cooking appliance that cooks or heats food on hot plates or in a similar way, and it is not an oven.
The tariff has separate headings for dough machinery, for rolling machines, for baking ovens and for cooking appliances, so the code follows what the machine actually does and how its heat is produced. A complete machine that forms the dough and also bakes it has no single settled code: official rulings on similar complete food lines disagree, so it needs a ruling on the actual machine. A press that only flattens dough balls into discs is not settled by any official text we could confirm either.
In India the GST HSN code and the export ITC-HS code come from the same nomenclature. A GST invoice needs only the first 4 or 6 digits, depending on your turnover; the export shipping bill carries the full 8-digit ITC-HS line. The classification is shown here; the applicable GST rate is not. Official source.
A classification is a fact any lookup can give you. The correct code still does not tell you which countries are buying roti making machines right now, what duty each of them charges on the Indian line, or whether that demand is growing or fading. Those answers come from trade data, not from a code table, and they decide whether a market is worth entering. diipl's free Market Research Report answers them for your machine.

Buying a roti making machine in India
- Ask for a GST invoice that shows the machine description and HSN code, and for a written delivery schedule.
- Agree installation and commissioning in writing, including gas pipe and power connections and a trial run with your own dough.
- Plan operator training for each shift supervisor, and ask for a simple daily cleaning and care chart.
- Ask for a list of wear parts such as heating elements, burners, belts, rollers and plates, and how fast the maker can ship them.
- Check floor space, ceiling height, ventilation and gas supply against the maker's layout drawing before you place the order.
- Visit a working installation at a kitchen of your size before you pay an advance.
Buying from Indian roti making machine exporters
- Agree the trade term (Incoterms) in writing, including who pays for freight, insurance and unloading.
- Ask the manufacturer for a Certificate of Origin if your customs office or trade agreement needs one.
- Match the electrical supply: confirm voltage, frequency and single or three phase against the machine nameplate. Many makers offer several options.
- Confirm the fuel: check whether the oven burns LPG, natural gas or electricity only, and what gas pressure your site has. Gas-fired models may have to meet local gas appliance rules.
- For the European Union, ask for CE marking with the EU declaration of conformity, and for food-contact declarations for the parts that touch dough.
- Ask for a spare parts kit, remote support by video call, and export-grade packing that protects the conveyor and electrical panel.

Roti Making Machine: frequently asked questions
Who makes automatic roti making machines in India?
diipl does not publish manufacturer names. You tell diipl your requirement, such as output per hour, fuel and kitchen type. diipl then matches a manufacturer that has passed GSTIN verification and a capacity audit, confirms its IEC and the certifications your market needs, and arranges a direct meeting with you.
What should I specify when buying a commercial roti making machine?
State the finished roti output per hour, the roti diameter, weight and thickness, and whether you want a pressing unit or a full dough-to-puffed-roti line. Add the fuel (LPG, PNG or electric), power supply, floor space, and whether you need cooling and packing. Ask the maker to prove the output with your own dough.
Which standards or certifications apply to automatic roti making machines?
This page lists no Indian standard written specifically for roti machines. FSSAI training material says food-contact surfaces should be non-corrosive, smooth, easy to clean, non-toxic and food grade, so ask for stainless steel contact parts. For the European Union, see the CE marking, food-contact and gas appliance entries on this page.
What is the HSN code for roti making machines?
The code for roti making machines depends on the design of the machine, mainly whether it mixes or kneads dough, rolls dough into a sheet, bakes the dough, or cooks it on hot plates, and whether the baking heat comes from gas or from electricity: 84381010 when the machine only mixes or kneads bakery dough and does not roll the dough between rollers or cook it; 84201000 when the machine is a dough sheeter that rolls the dough into a sheet between two or more rollers; 84172000 when the machine is an industrial baking oven that is gas fired or heated in another way that is not electric, and it is sold without a dough forming section; 85141900 when the machine is an industrial baking oven that is electrically heated with resistance elements, and it is sold without a dough forming section; 841981 when the machine is a commercial cooking appliance that cooks or heats food on hot plates or in a similar way, and it is not an oven. The tariff has separate headings for dough machinery, for rolling machines, for baking ovens and for cooking appliances, so the code follows what the machine actually does and how its heat is produced. A complete machine that forms the dough and also bakes it has no single settled code: official rulings on similar complete food lines disagree, so it needs a ruling on the actual machine. A press that only flattens dough balls into discs is not settled by any official text we could confirm either. The export shipping bill carries the full 8-digit line and a GST invoice its first 4 or 6 digits, depending on your turnover, so confirm the line for your exact machine before you file. The HS code finder lists every 8-digit line.
Can Indian manufacturers export automatic roti making machines?
Yes, if the manufacturer holds an Importer Exporter Code and the machine meets the rules of the destination region. The Directorate General of Foreign Trade handbook says the code is compulsory for exports, with listed exemptions. For the European Union, a machine needs CE marking, and gas-fired models need a burner and gas setup that suits the buyer's region.
Which industries buy automatic roti making machines?
Makers list hotels and restaurants, with institutional users such as hospitals, schools and college hostels, and industrial canteens. Langars and similar community kitchens appear on one list, and a supplier of full lines names central kitchens and food factories that make packaged roti.
I manufacture automatic roti making machines. How do I find verified buyers?
diipl researches which buyer segments and regions need the product, runs outreach, verifies each buyer's need, budget, authority and timeline, and arranges a direct meeting. Your name and contact details are never published.
How many rotis per hour do I need for my kitchen?
Work back from your busiest meal. Divide the rotis you must serve by the hours in the service window, then add a margin for breaks and peak days. A government food research institute notes that the manual rolling step alone gives only about 100 chapatis per hour, which is why larger kitchens move to machines.
Should a hotel or caterer choose a semi-automatic or a fully automatic roti machine?
Semi-automatic machines press the dough, and an operator finishes each roti over a flame, so output depends on the operator. Fully automatic conveyor machines shape, roast and puff in one continuous run and suit steady high volume, but need more floor space and usually a gas connection. Pick by daily volume, labour available and space.
Do roti making machines run on LPG, PNG or electricity?
Both gas and electricity are used. Conveyor ovens listed by makers are heated by LPG or PNG, while some press types heat their plates with an electric element and puff the roti over a flame. Gas use differs by model, so ask each maker for gas use per hour at rated output and check your site supply before you order.
What power supply and floor space does a conveyor roti machine need?
Makers offer several supplies, including single or three phase at various voltages and both common frequencies, so confirm the match with your site before ordering. One maker lists floor space of about 15 ft long, 3 to 5 ft wide and 5 ft high for models from 1000 to 3000 rotis per hour.
