The pitch

Produces polymer‑based floor polish formulated with chemical binders and additives for durable, high‑gloss finishes on commercial and industrial floors.

B2B sales to construction contractors, hotel chains, shopping malls, and industrial facilities via direct sales teams and regional distributors; online B2B portals for bulk orders. Production cycle is 3–4 days per batch, yielding 200 kg of finished polish. The unit employs 10 staff members covering mixing, packaging, QC, and logistics.

Sample capital requirement is ₹9,43,000, covering a 200 m² production unit, raw material storage, packaging line, QC laboratory, and initial marketing collateral.

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.

Watch-outs

Idea-specific discussion points — not automatic disqualification

Raw Material Price Volatility
Polymer resins and chemical additives can fluctuate; lock in long‑term contracts or hedge to stabilize costs.
Hazardous Waste Disposal Compliance
Floor polish contains solvents and additives that require proper disposal under EIA guidelines; failure to comply can lead to fines.
Quality Consistency Across Batches
Variations in raw material quality can affect gloss and durability; implement strict QC protocols and batch testing.
Market Competition and Pricing Pressure
The floor polish market has many established players; differentiate through eco‑friendly formulations or niche applications.
Cash Flow Management for Inventory‑Heavy Operations
Large upfront inventory of raw materials and packaging can strain working capital; maintain a buffer and monitor receivables closely.

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.
