The pitch

Coir mattress manufacturing from coconut husk fiber, involving retting, cleaning, carding, weaving/knitting, and foam encasing for firm and memory foam variants.

Retail mattress stores, online e-commerce platforms (Amazon, Flipkart), local furniture retailers, and direct B2B sales to hotel chains and guest houses. Operations run 6 days/week with 2 shifts; raw coir husk sourced from Kerala/Tamil Nadu, processed within 48 hours to prevent fiber degradation, assembled into standard sizes (36x72, 42x80 inches), and packed for dispatch.

Sample project cost: ₹25,00,000 covers machinery (coir retters, carders, weaving machines, cutting tools), shop floor setup, raw material inventory, packaging, and initial working capital.

Watch-outs

Idea-specific discussion points — not automatic disqualification

  • Raw material quality variance

    Coir fiber quality varies by season and source; consistent supply requires vendor vetting and buffer inventory of 15-20 days.

  • Moisture and pest control

    Mattresses must undergo proper drying and anti-microbial treatment to meet safety standards; inadequate curing leads to customer complaints and returns.

  • PMEGP subsidy eligibility verification

    Ensure machinery cost splits between eligible plant & equipment (75%) and other capital expenditure (25%) to qualify for 15% subsidy under PMEGP.

  • 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 (₹25 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.
