Air Filter (Samadhan Projects) manufactures rectangular and cylindrical air filters using polypropylene media and activated carbon, with a daily output of 500 units in a 500 sq ft workshop.
Residential households, commercial buildings, HVAC contractors, and online distributors purchase the filters through local dealers and e‑commerce platforms. The unit operates in a 500 sq ft workshop, producing 500 air filters per day using automated cutting and assembly lines, with daily quality checks on material thickness and filter efficiency.
₹25,80,000 covers machinery (filter cutting and assembly equipment), raw material inventory (polypropylene and activated carbon), workshop setup, and initial working capital.
Watch-outs
Idea-specific discussion points — not automatic disqualification
Raw material sourcing risk
Dependence on consistent supply of polypropylene and activated carbon may cause production delays; monitor vendor reliability.
Quality compliance
Air filters must meet IS standards; non‑compliance can lead to rejection by distributors and customers.
Workforce skill gap
Skilled labor for precision cutting and assembly is scarce; training may be required to meet production targets.
Regulatory certification
Obtaining BIS certification for air filters is mandatory for market acceptance; timeline may extend beyond 90 days.
