The pitch

Manufactures N95/respirator-grade air-pollution masks with replaceable filters for urban workers and commuters.

Retail via hardware stores, medical supply distributors, and e-commerce platforms; B2B sales to corporations, schools, and NGOs. Operates 8-hour shifts with 2–3 workers; manages incoming raw materials (non-woven fabric, filters, elastic bands) and tracks finished goods inventory.

Sample project cost is ₹25,00,000 covering machinery (mask-making, sealing, packaging lines), raw material storage, and basic QC setup.

Watch-outs

Idea-specific discussion points — not automatic disqualification

  • Raw material procurement delays

    Supply chain disruptions for non-woven fabric and filter media can halt production; maintain 15-day buffer stock.

  • Quality certification compliance

    Must obtain BIS or equivalent certification for N95 masks; non-compliance risks market rejection and legal penalties.

  • Competition from established brands

    Market dominated by large manufacturers; pricing pressure requires cost control and niche branding focus.

    • 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.
