Auto Control Cables

₹24.7 L(₹24,68,000) · ₹10–25LUp to 35% subsidy
Process plant · QC · Inventory-heavy

The pitch

Manufactures auto control cables (accelerator, clutch, brake, speedometer) by cutting, crimping, and assembling steel wire, housing, and plastic/metal end-fittings in a semi-automated plant.

Sells to two-wheelers and four-wheelers OEMs, automotive component distributors, and repair workshops in Indore and nearby industrial zones via direct B2B supply and local auto-parts wholesalers. Daily production runs on shift basis with incoming raw material inspection, in-process crimp pull testing, and finished-goods batch sampling before dispatch to buyers.

Sample/template project cost is ₹24,68,000 covering land/leasehold improvements, cable-cutting/crimping machines, wire-drawing unit, raw material yard, basic QC table, and initial working capital.

Who buys & when

Demand shape for this sample line — advisory, not a market study.

Buyers

Local households and small businesses are the default demand base for Samadhan sample lines unless the product name points to a clearer pack.

Channels

  • Local retail
  • Order / referral
  • Wholesale where relevant
Seasonality
Steady year-round
Treat demand as year-round until a more specific product pack applies.
Locality
City / region
Most micro samples sell into the nearest town or city market plus local buyers.

Demand watch-out: Generic demand assumptions fail when the product is highly specialized — validate with local buyers before locking capacity.

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

    Steel wire and copper prices fluctuate weekly; maintain 15-20 day buffer stock and negotiate quarterly price contracts with suppliers.

  • Quality certification for OEM supply

    Two-wheeler OEMs require ISO 9001 and PPAP documentation; budget for certification and testing lab fees within first year.

  • Working capital cycle mismatch

    Raw material purchase is upfront but payment from distributors is 30-45 days; arrange separate working capital limit over and above project term loan.

  • Tooling wear and replacement

    Crimping dies and cutting blades wear every 20,000-30,000 cycles; include annual tooling replacement cost in maintenance budget.

  • 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 (₹24.7 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.
