Year-wise Profit After All Costs

Year 1 includes full machine investment. Years 2 to 6 include standard maintenance of ₹2,000 to ₹8,000.
Why the Math Works

Bagged Ice Is a Recurring Bill. An Ice Machine Is an Asset.

Every kilo of bagged ice costs around ₹12. The same kilo from an Ice-boy machine costs ₹2 to ₹3 in water and power. The gap compounds every single day your business is open.

Hygienic, Crystal-Clear Ice

No contamination risk from transport and handling. Patented German centrifugal and vertical evaporator technology delivers clear, food-safe ice on demand.

Low Running Cost

Just 1.25 litres of water and as little as 0.14 to 0.28 units of power per kg of ice. Advanced start-stop technology keeps power bills minimal.

Pan-India Service

Expert technicians in all major cities, genuine spares in 24 to 48 hours, and maintenance costs of just ₹2,000 to ₹8,000 per year from year 2.

Never Run Out

24/7 production means no delivery delays, no weekend shortages, no emergency runs. Ice is ready the moment your service needs it.
