The present disclosure relates to a process for preparing granules from an input material or a powder material. The process comprises feeding the input material for granulation in the processor using one or more powder feeders, introducing steam as a granulation activating agent in the processor, granulating the input material in presence of the steam to form granules, and optionally collecting the granules from a discharge zone of the processor, wherein feed rate of the steam into the processor is determined based on feed rate of the input material into the processor. A co-rotating twin-screw processor for preparing granules is also discl
