Hurraichi Chappals & Sandals

₹16.2 L(₹16,20,000) · ₹10–25LUp to 35% subsidy

Process plant · QC · Inventory‑heavy

The pitch

Manufactures polymer‑based chappals and sandals using a small‑scale extrusion and molding process, finishing with hand‑painted designs.

Retail footwear outlets, local markets, e‑commerce platforms (e.g., Amazon, Flipkart), and direct sales to small retailers. The operation will run on a 24‑hour shift with a team of 6–8 workers; quality control will be performed at the exit of the molding line and before packaging.

₹16,20,000 sample cost covers purchase of a 200 m² production unit, extrusion and molding machinery, raw material storage, packaging line, and initial working capital for 3 months.

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 resin and additives can fluctuate; lock in bulk contracts or hedge to avoid cost spikes.
Regulatory Compliance
Ensure GST registration, labor law adherence, and environmental clearance for chemical waste disposal.
Market Saturation
The footwear market is crowded; differentiate with unique designs or eco‑friendly branding.
Cash Flow Management
High upfront capital for machinery and raw materials can strain cash flow; maintain a buffer of at least 2 months of operating expenses.

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.
