**Bengaluru, India (May 1, 2025)** – A changing consumer landscape is leading to the decline of traditional flour mills in Bengaluru. As residents increasingly opt for pre-ground grains, many family-run mills, some operating for generations, have been forced to close. Those that remain are clinging to a dwindling market, relying on equipment imported from Chennai decades ago when local alternatives were unavailable. The shift highlights a broader trend in the city’s food consumption habits, impacting long-standing businesses and a piece of Bengaluru’s history.
