Manufactures barbed wire from mild steel wire using a continuous twisting and barbs-pressing process, producing standard and custom gauge fencing coils for agricultural and perimeter security use.
Farmers and agricultural cooperatives for field fencing, contractors for boundary and perimeter security, government rural infrastructure programs, and wholesale iron and steel dealers in local mandis. Operates in a small workshop with 1-2 shifts, sourcing mild steel wire as raw material and producing coils in standard lengths. Requires consistent power supply and basic safety setup for handling sharp wire.
Sample/template cost: ₹24,00,000. Covers a semi-automatic barbed wire manufacturing plant, wire drawing unit, electric motor and drives, basic workshop shed, raw material storage yard, and initial working capital for steel wire procurement.

Who typically buys this?
Local households and small businesses are the default demand base for Samadhan sample lines unless the product name points to a clearer pack. This is a demand-shape typology for the sample line, not a market survey.
How seasonal is demand?
Steady year-round. Treat demand as year-round until a more specific product pack applies.
What is the sample project cost?
₹24,00,000 is the official PMEGP sample project cost shown for this idea. Your actual project cost may differ — treat this as a planning reference, not a quote.
What subsidy might apply under PMEGP?
Indicative PMEGP-style margin money rates on this site run up to 35% of project cost, depending on beneficiary category and rural vs urban area. This is not a guarantee of subsidy, sanction, or bank finance — verify current guidelines before applying.
How local is demand?
City / region. Most micro samples sell into the nearest town or city market plus local buyers.
Is FoundersOffice a government site?
No. FoundersOffice Idea Browser is an independent discovery and briefing tool — not affiliated with the Government of India, MSME, KVIC, DIC, or any bank. Nothing here is a sanction, loan offer, or guarantee of subsidy.
Watch-outs
Idea-specific discussion points — not automatic disqualification
Raw material price volatility
Mild steel wire prices fluctuate with global steel markets; maintain buffer stock planning and supplier contracts to avoid margin squeeze.
Power and infrastructure dependency
Continuous 3-phase power is critical; plan for diesel backup or load management to prevent production downtime.
Safety and handling risks
Barbed wire manufacturing involves sharp edges and high-tension machinery; mandatory safety gear, training, and basic factory layout compliance are non-negotiable.
Market competition from large players
Competes with established wire mills; differentiate via local delivery, custom lengths, and farmer-trusted branding rather than price alone.
Education gate
Other funding routes worth checking
Beyond PMEGP — schemes that may complement this project's sector or cost band.
PMEGP capital subsidy component applies to plant and machinery only, not land or working capital.
Subsidy percentage and quantum depend on project cost band and enterprise category — confirm with the sponsoring agency.
Margin money contribution required from the applicant; bank term loan covers the balance after subsidy and equity.
What bankers typically probe for this idea
Position as a rural agri-input manufacturing unit aligned with PMEGP's livelihood and infrastructure goals.
Emphasize local supply chain linkages with farmers and rural contractors to show viable demand.
Highlight low-tech, replicable model with quick payback potential in a high-demand fencing segment.
VIII pass likely required (manufacturing project cost > ₹10 lakh) — verify current PMEGP eligibility guidelines before application.
