Sample capital requirement: ₹11,05,000 covers manufacturing unit setup, kiln and firing equipment, raw material procurement, packaging and initial working capital.

Watch-outs

Idea-specific discussion points — not automatic disqualification

High capital intensity of kiln and firing equipment
May delay cash flow and require careful working capital management.
Raw material price volatility
Fluctuations in clay, feldspar and glaze costs can erode margins.
Emission compliance costs
Meeting environmental norms for kiln emissions may need additional investment.
Seasonal demand fluctuations
Inventory turnover can be affected by off‑peak periods.
