Sells to battery manufacturers, electric vehicle component suppliers, and industrial battery producers via direct sales and distributor networks. The plant will operate 5 days a week, 10‑hour shifts, handling raw water intake, filtration, chemical addition, mixing, and bottling. QC will monitor pH, conductivity, and contaminant levels to meet industry standards.

Sample capital requirement: ₹13,50,000 covering a 200 m² production unit, water purification plant, mixing tanks, packaging line, and initial working capital.

What is the sample project cost?

₹13,50,000 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?

Watch-outs

Idea-specific discussion points — not automatic disqualification

  • Land and Site Approval

    Securing a suitable 200 m² plot with proper zoning and water source access can delay setup.

  • Regulatory Compliance

    Obtaining environmental clearance for effluent discharge and BIS certification for electrolyte quality is mandatory.

  • Supply Chain Stability

    Consistent supply of high‑purity chemicals and raw water is critical; price volatility can affect margins.

  • Skilled Workforce

    Hiring technicians trained in water treatment and quality control may be challenging in rural areas.

  • Cash Flow Management

    Initial production may take 3–4 months to generate revenue; ensure sufficient working capital.

  • Actual margin money and contribution depend on current PMEGP guidelines and implementing agency.
  • Land cost is generally excluded from project cost under the scheme.
  • Full-capacity revenue is estimated at 2× project cost (₹13.5 L) — adjust it to your own numbers.

Indicative only — actual bank DSCR calculations add back depreciation; treat this as a sense-check, not a bank figure. Verify with your CA/bank before applying.
