Mineral Based
Plaster Boards
The pitch
"Plaster Boards" turns a specific local gap in mineral based into a small, run-it-yourself unit — the kind PMEGP sample data shows plenty of applicants have already costed out.
Buyers are local: trade counters, nearby institutions, or end consumers within a practical delivery radius — map who actually buys before sizing capacity. Day-to-day work centres on procurement, production or service delivery, quality, and sales for “Plaster Boards”. Higher sample costs usually mean more equipment coordination and working-capital discipline.
₹1,35,000 sets this up, per the official sample (Under ₹2L, Mineral Based). Treat it as a starting benchmark for capacity and cost — your bank file needs your own numbers, not the template's.
Watch-outs
Idea-specific discussion points — not automatic disqualification
Local demand proof
Before locking ₹1,35,000 of sample-scale investment, map who will buy and at what price in your district—not only state-level averages.
Customise the sample DPR
Banks expect your costs, capacity, and working capital to match local reality; copy-paste sample schedules weaken the file.
Scheme eligibility
PMEGP is for new units with capital expenditure; land cost is generally excluded. Confirm negative-list and trading/transport caps for your state.

Scheme mechanics
- An official PMEGP sample project profile exists for this activity, so DIC/KVIC and bank officers can benchmark your file against a known template.
- PMEGP supports new micro-enterprises with capital expenditure—not refinancing of an already subsidised unit.
- Confirm education and other eligibility conditions against the latest PMEGP guidelines for your cost and sector.
What bankers typically probe for this idea
- Bankers will ask how “Plaster Boards” will sell in your catchment and what working capital cycle looks like.
- Be ready with supplier quotes, site suitability, and a simple risk note (power, seasonality, competition).

- 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 (₹1.4 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.
