The pitch

Manufactures and sells hand‑held electric air coolers for residential and small commercial use.

Retailers, e‑commerce platforms, direct sales to small businesses and households via local distributors. Production involves injection moulding of plastic housings, CNC machining of metal frames, electrical assembly of cooling fans and control units, followed by quality inspection and packaging. Inventory of finished goods is held for 30 days before shipment.

Sample capital requirement ₹20,44,000 covers purchase of a 200 sq ft workshop, CNC machine, assembly line, quality control station, inventory of raw materials (plastic, metal, electrical components), and working capital for the first 6 months.

Watch-outs

Idea-specific discussion points — not automatic disqualification

  • Market Saturation

    The portable cooler segment is crowded; pricing pressure may erode margins if differentiation is not clear.

  • Supply Chain Delays

    Lead times for plastic and metal components can extend production cycles, impacting delivery schedules.

  • Safety & Standards Compliance

    Electrical appliances must meet BIS certification and IEC standards; non‑compliance can lead to product recalls.

  • Skilled Labor Availability

    Assembly and quality control require trained technicians; shortages can affect production quality.

    • 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 (₹20.4 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.
