The pitch

Produces polymer‑based floor polish for commercial and residential flooring applications.

Sells to flooring contractors, hardware retailers, e‑commerce platforms, and directly to hotels, offices and residential developers. The 10 m² unit operates 2 shifts, 5 days a week, producing ~200 kg of floor polish per shift with batch‑level quality checks.

Sample cost ₹9,43,000 covers a 10 m² production unit, including a polymer mixing tank, coating equipment, packaging line, storage racks, a basic QC laboratory, and office space.

Who buys & when

Demand shape for this sample line — advisory, not a market study.

Buyers

Downstream manufacturers, industrial users, and B2B distributors are the core demand — not walk-in retail for most sample lines.

Channels

  • B2B supply
  • Industrial distributors
  • Institutional buyers
Seasonality
Steady year-round
Industrial offtake is usually continuous; construction-linked products can track project cycles more than festivals.
Locality
State or wider
Buyers may sit across the state or region; freight and credit terms matter as much as the local pin code.

Demand watch-out: A single large buyer can dominate volume — demand risk is concentration, not only end-consumer taste.

Derived from idea type and sector — not a survey or government market report.

Watch-outs

Idea-specific discussion points — not automatic disqualification

  • Chemical Handling Safety

    Ensure proper PPE, ventilation, and spill containment to meet safety norms for polymer and chemical use.

  • Environmental Clearance

    Obtain necessary environmental clearance for chemical waste disposal and comply with local pollution control regulations.

  • Supply Chain Reliability

    Secure a consistent supply of polymer resin and additives; price volatility can affect production costs.

  • Market Saturation

    Assess local competition in floor polish; differentiate through packaging or niche applications.

  • 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 (₹9.4 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.
