Automatic Curtain Opener

₹7.5 L(₹7,45,300) · ₹5–10LUp to 35% subsidy
Assembly & Testing

The pitch

Assembles motorized curtain mechanisms using microcontrollers and sensor-driven actuators to automate window/door coverings.

B2B sales to interior design firms, smart home installers, and direct-to-consumer via e-commerce platforms. Operations involve precision soldering, software calibration for sensor accuracy, and quality testing of motor torque and noise levels.

The sample cost of ₹7,45,300 covers specialized assembly tools, electronic component inventory, testing equipment, and initial workshop setup.

Watch-outs

Idea-specific discussion points — not automatic disqualification

  • Component Sourcing

    Dependency on specific microcontrollers and high-torque motors can lead to production delays.

  • Product Liability

    Mechanical failure in automated systems poses risks to property or user safety.

  • Technological Obsolescence

    Rapid shifts in IoT and smart home standards require constant hardware updates.

Scheme mechanics

  • PMEGP (Prime Minister's Employment Generation Programme)

What bankers typically probe for this idea

  • Focus on the scalability of the smart-home integration capability.
  • Highlight the niche application in specialized hospitality or elderly care sectors.

  • 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 (₹7.5 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.
