The pitch

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.

  • 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 (₹25.8 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.
