The pitch

Produce handloom‑woven Khadi kurtis using cotton yarn, dyeing, stitching and finishing to create ready‑to‑wear garments.

Local markets, wholesale to boutiques, online marketplaces (Amazon, Flipkart) and direct sales via social media platforms. The unit will operate a 200 sq ft workshop employing 4–5 artisans. Raw cotton yarn and dyes are stocked, weaving, dyeing, stitching and quality checks are performed on‑site, and finished kurtis are packaged for sale.

Sample project cost ₹23,83,000 covers purchase of a handloom loom, dyeing and finishing equipment, 200 sq ft workshop space, initial raw material inventory (cotton yarn, dyes, threads) and working capital for the first 3 months.

    Artisans may need training in modern weaving techniques and quality control to meet market standards.

  • Supply Chain of Raw Cotton

    Fluctuations in cotton prices and availability can affect production costs and timelines.

  • Compliance with PMEGP Eligibility

    Ensure all eligibility criteria (age, education, income, sector) are met and documentation is accurate.
