Manufactures heat pipes for industrial, HVAC, automotive and renewable energy applications using a precision extrusion and brazing process.
End‑users include HVAC manufacturers, automotive component suppliers, solar thermal plants and industrial process equipment vendors; sales through direct OEM contracts and distributor networks. Production runs 50–100 heat pipes per day, with in‑line dimensional checks and final brazing quality tests; inventory of finished goods is maintained to meet lead times of OEM buyers.
Sample capital outlay of ₹22,54,000 covers a 200 m² production facility, extrusion and brazing machinery, initial raw material stock (aluminium, copper, ceramic), quality control equipment, and working capital for the first 3 months.

What is the sample project cost?
₹22,54,000 is the official PMEGP sample project cost shown for this idea. Your actual project cost may differ — treat this as a planning reference, not a quote.
What subsidy might apply under PMEGP?
Indicative PMEGP-style margin money rates on this site run up to 35% of project cost, depending on beneficiary category and rural vs urban area. This is not a guarantee of subsidy, sanction, or bank finance — verify current guidelines before applying.
How local is demand?

Watch-outs
Idea-specific discussion points — not automatic disqualification
Raw material price volatility
Aluminium and copper prices can fluctuate, impacting cost of goods sold. Mitigate by locking in long‑term contracts or hedging.
Skilled labor shortage
Precision extrusion and brazing require trained technicians; consider on‑the‑job training or partnering with local vocational institutes.
Regulatory compliance
Heat pipes must meet safety and performance standards (e.g., IS 13480). Ensure certifications and periodic audits to avoid compliance gaps.
Market entry timing
Demand cycles in HVAC and automotive sectors can be seasonal; plan production ramp‑up to align with industry procurement windows.
