Hurraichi Chappals & Sandals

₹16.2 L(₹16,20,000) · ₹10–25LUp to 35% subsidy
Molding plant · Chemical mixing · Quality checks · Inventory-heavy

The pitch

Manufactures polymer and chemical-based chappals and sandals using rubber, PVC, and synthetic materials with molding and finishing processes.

Retail footwear stores, local markets, and e-commerce platforms targeting budget to mid-range customers. Daily production involves polymer processing, molding, drying, quality inspection, and packaging with 2–3 shifts depending on demand.

Sample project cost ₹16,20,000 covers machinery (molding presses, cutting tools), polymer/Chemical inventory, storage setup, and basic production layout.

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

  • Raw material price volatility

    Polymer and chemical costs fluctuate frequently; maintain 15-20% buffer in working capital.

  • MSME registration timeline

    Ensure Udyam registration is completed before fund disbursement to avoid delays.

  • Quality consistency

    Inconsistent molding can lead to returns; invest in operator training and basic QC tools.

  • Storage for chemicals

    Hazardous chemical storage requires proper ventilation and compliance with FSSAI/MSME norms.

  • 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 (₹16.2 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.
