The pitch

Production of clay bricks using manual molding and kiln firing, supplying local construction contractors and building material retailers.

Local construction contractors, building material retailers, and government housing projects via direct sales and distribution through regional hardware stores. The unit operates a manual brick moulding line with daily output of ~5,000 bricks, uses a natural gas‑fired kiln for firing, maintains inventory of clay and fuel, and supplies bricks to local contractors on a weekly basis.

₹22,88,000 sample cost covers acquisition of a 2‑tonne capacity brick moulding machine, a 10‑tonne capacity kiln, basic workshop infrastructure, and initial raw material stock.

₹22,88,000 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.

Watch-outs

Idea-specific discussion points — not automatic disqualification

  • Raw material availability

    Raw material availability and quality fluctuations can affect production consistency; ensure reliable clay sourcing contracts.

  • Kiln operation

    Kiln operation requires skilled handling and regular maintenance; non‑compliance may cause downtime and safety issues.

  • PMEGP eligibility

    PMEGP scheme eligibility criteria, especially turnover thresholds and education requirements, must be verified before financing.

  • Market demand variability

    Market demand variability; maintain diversified buyer base to avoid over‑reliance on a single contractor.

Scheme mechanics

  • PMEGP (Credit Linked Subsidy Scheme)
  • PMEGP – Bank Credit Facility
  • PMEGP – Capital Investment Subsidy

What bankers typically probe for this idea

  • Present detailed process flow and equipment list to demonstrate capital utilization.
  • Highlight VIII pass education compliance and turnover threshold meeting PMEGP norms.
  • Show projected weekly sales to local contractors to assure market demand.

Manufacturing units with turnover > ₹10L typically require at least VIII pass education; verify PMEGP guidelines for eligibility.

  • 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 (₹22.9 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.
