Mineral Based

Pre Stressed Cement Concrete Block

₹10.1 L(₹10,10,000) · ₹10–25LUp to 35% subsidy

Process plant · Quality control · Inventory-heavy

The pitch

The unit manufactures pre‑stressed cement concrete blocks using mineral aggregates, compression molding, and curing processes to produce durable construction blocks.

Construction contractors, housing developers, and municipal agencies purchase the blocks through direct B2B sales and local hardware distributors. The operation runs a small-scale block molding line with manual mixing, compression molding, and curing; daily output is around 500 blocks, requiring skilled operators and regular quality checks.

₹10,10,000 covers plant infrastructure, machinery, and initial working capital.

Watch-outs

Idea-specific discussion points — not automatic disqualification

Regulatory compliance risk
PMEGP requires adherence to MSME and environmental norms; non‑compliance may delay subsidy release.
Raw material sourcing
Dependence on locally available mineral aggregates; price volatility can affect cost structure.
Labor skill gap
Manufacturing process demands trained operators; shortage may increase labor costs and affect quality.
Market demand fluctuation
Construction cycles affect order volume; need diversified buyer base.

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 (₹10.1 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.
