Mineral Based

Cement Jalli

₹7.3 L(₹7,25,000) · ₹5–10LUp to 35% subsidy
Process plant · QC · Inventory-heavy

The pitch

Produces mineral-based jalli blocks for construction using crushed mineral raw material and binder mixing.

Construction contractors and rural builders purchase directly via local hardware stores and wholesale distributors. The unit crushes mineral ore, mixes with binder, shapes into jalli blocks, and stores them in a drying area, requiring continuous operation of crushing, mixing, and drying equipment.

₹7,25,000 covers process plant, QC lab, and inventory storage

Watch-outs

Idea-specific discussion points — not automatic disqualification

  • Equipment downtime risk

    Crushing and mixing machinery may face frequent breakdowns, causing production delays and increased maintenance costs.

  • Raw material sourcing variability

    Availability and price fluctuations of mineral ore can affect production continuity and cost control.

  • Quality compliance

    Jalli must meet construction standards for strength and size, requiring rigorous QC and certification processes.

  • Cash flow timing

    Raw material purchases precede revenue generation, creating short-term liquidity pressure before sales are realized.

Scheme mechanics

  • PMEGP (Credit Linked Subsidy Scheme)
  • MUDRA Bank Scheme

What bankers typically probe for this idea

  • Highlight low capital intensity and high demand for jalli in rural construction
  • Emphasize eligibility for PMEGP subsidy and MUDRA credit support

No formal education beyond VIII pass required; aligns with PMEGP VIII pass rule

  • Figures are illustrative for discussion, not a sanction estimate.
  • 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 (₹7.3 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.
